okay, I'll pick up the baton with an easy one
the memorial I am looking at was unveiled by a blind sergeant and a VC winner. It's in granite, but it should have been soapstone

As a guess - Portsoy?
The local memorial could have been made from Portsoy Marble (which is actually serpentinite or 'soap stone'), but IIRC is in granite. Not aware of any VC connection with the unveiling though........
Edit: Scratch that one entirely - I see Croonaert has 'come clean' with Port Sunlight!

You are correct - cabaret the fate of x-factor losers, St Quentin the patron saint of bombardiers and the 293 siege battery sitting in a field just outside Wulvergem - well done, your turn.
Isn't Barbara their patron saint??
