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

 |fontsize=160
 |name=
 |battalion=11th Battalion (Lonsdale)
 |regiment=The Border Regiment}}
</div></center>

Poppy photos for soldiers without main image[edit source | hide]

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.
