Template:Infobox soldier-alt3 (no titles, with commemorative scroll, FOR use with roll of honour)

Hints and tips[edit source]

To resize images so they are responsive to screen size use the following:

<div class="res-img">
[[File:YourImageFileName.jpg|size]]
</div>

The following is to be used on a soldier's commemorative scroll subpage.

<center><div class="res-img">
{{Commemorative scroll
 |imagesize=550
 |fontsize=160
 |name=
 |battalion=11th Battalion (Lonsdale)
 |regiment=The Border Regiment}}
</div></center>
[[Category:Soldiers with a commemorative scroll]]

The following is to be used on a soldier's images subpage.

<gallery mode="packed-hover" heights=350px>  
Add list of files here without [[ ]]
</gallery>
{{images wanted}}
[[Category:Soldiers with an image gallery]]

Poppy photos for soldiers without main image[edit source]

The following poppy images can be used on the soldier remembrance pages where there is no image of the soldier. The single poppy represents the soldier that fell and is remembered with this flower of peace.
