Irvine Old Parish Churchyard - Duncan Forbes 1781 - 1815
Duncan Forbes, Waterloo Casualty, 1781 - 1815
Duncan Forbes was born in Irvine in 1781 and his parents are listed as John Forbes and Agnes Dale. He enlisted with the 2nd Dragoons (nicknamed Royal Scots Greys) on 7 August 1800 aged 18 years and was a Private in rank.
He took part in one of the world's most important and famous battles at Waterloo. This was his first day in battle as the Greys had been on home duty since he joined them. Duncan was killed on 18 June 1815 when the Scots Grey charged the French infantry columns, a turning point in the battle.

Wall Panel at Irvine Old Parish Church
The 16th century Protestant Reformers banned church burials and gravestones but attitudes gradually softened with the passage of time. The first accepted stones were panels in churchyard walls or on the outside of the actual church walls.
The small panel shows the death of two people, RC in 1656 and MF in 1651, with a family crest.
The large panel shows the original sandstone framing, with a slightly altered family crest at the top and a coffin containing bones and a skull at the bottom. The inside panel has been replaced in granite. This records the burial of William Cunningham, Rector of Irvine Grammar School, who died on August 17th 1766.
