Pipe Major Joe Kerr of the Gordon Highlanders played during the service and Oswestry Town Mayor Councillor Gareth Jones and Lieutenant Colonel Sir Malcolm Ross of the Scott’s Guards laid the first two wreaths at the memorial.
Ken Nichol, secretary of the battalion association, said: “The IJLB was a unique training unit, but, unlike a normal regiment, it had no permanent regimental headquarters. What we share is an unforgettable and life changing experience from our teenage years and that experience occurred in Oswestry.
