  • Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford]
    Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour Colinton District Great War Roll of Honour: Restricted [Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford] This portion of the Edinburgh Great War Roll of Honour is part of a much larger work that will be published over a period of time. It should also be noted that this particular roll is also a restricted one of Great War casualties giving basic details of each casualty: Name, Rank, Battalion/Ship/Squadron, Regiment/Service, Number. Special awards. Cause and date of death. Age. Place commemorated or buried. Birthplace. District of Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour name is recorded in. The reason this roll is presently restricted is that we would like to invite and give the greater community the opportunity to fill out the story of each casualty, even helping identify casualties that appear on local memorials that cannot be clearly identified or have some details missing. These latter casualties appear in red with some having question marks in the area that needs to be clarified. It is also worth noting at this point that the names of some casualties appear on more than one district. The larger Roll of Honour [RoH] will also include information about those who served and survived and again the hope is that the wider community will come forward and share the story of their ancestors’ who served in the Great War, whether a casualty or survivor. The larger RoH will contain information such as: Name. Rank, Battalion/Ship/Squadron, Regiment/Service. Born when and where? Parent’s names and address.

BoS says that even before the national Lockdown, personal customers were turning to Internet and Telephone Banking, other branches, and the Post Office instead. Although personal and business usages here are above that of a typical BoS branch, by 14% and 7% respectively, transactions had fallen in the year to March 2020 (see panel). BoS says its decision followed an impact analysis which covered customer choices, alternative branches, public transport, and the effect ‘on our customers including those who may need additional support’. The nearest alternative branches will be at 300 Lawnmarket, which is about a 20-minute walk for an able-bodied person; and 75 George Street, which is slightly further away but can be reached on foot in 15 minutes.
