  • You Can Download a Pdf File of This Roll of Honour Here
    A Memorial Record of the Staff of The Commercial Bank of Scotland Limited who served in the Great War 1914-18 IN preparing this Roll of Honour it was felt that something more than a mere list of the names of those who fought and those who fell in the Great War of 1914-18 was necessary, and it was decided that the words spoken, and a record of the ceremony, at the unveiling of the Memorial Tablets - which bear the names of those of the Bank's Staff who were killed - might be a fitting introduction. Neither the Memorial Tablets nor the words of those whose privilege it was to speak can fully express the sorrow or the joy, the great thankfulness and pride, of those who mourn their dead or of those who rejoice in the safe return of their dear ones. On 16th March 1921 the Memorial Tablets erected in the Head Office were unveiled by the Deputy-Governor, The Earl of Mar and Kellie, K.T. Mr Rankine, the Senior Director, asked Mr William Babington, one of the Directors, to address the assembled company. Mr Babington said:- “My Lord, Ladies, and Gentlemen, the occasion which calls us together today, the unveiling of the Memorial to those of our Staff who fell in the War, will, I know, recall anxious and sad days to all of those present, but it was felt by the Directors to be one which would give them an opportunity of expressing, however inadequately, their high sense of admiration of the courageous spirit which, in August 1914 and during the whole course of the Great War, was shown by those of The Commercial Bank of Scotland’s Staff who were of military age.
