THIS War List, which has been compiled from material published in The Merchistonian from December 1914-December 1919, is issued by the Merchistonian Club free to members. The records are no doubt incomplete and may be inaccurate. It has not been possible to track promotions, and the rank given is, as far as the School records show, that held at the end of the war. The list of those fallen includes those who were killed and those who died of wounds or on service. The date in brackets is the date of birth, the dates after the name show the years at School. Any corrections of errors and further information will be welcomed, and will be useful for future editions of the School Register. C. E. Edwarbs. Merchiston Castle, Edinburgh, October 1921.
