PRICE ONE SHILLING. PEEBLES ALLAN SMYTH. MCMXVI. Printed by Allan Smyth, Neidpath Press, Peebles. % 19 77 ,<' — FOREWORD. IN this Roll of Honour will be found the names of 1764 men connected with Tweeddale by parentage, birth, marriage, or residence, who have enlisted in His Majesty's Forces. The numbers for the respective parishes are as follows: Broughton, - 67 Newlands, - - - - - - 61 Drumelzier, - 18 Peebles, - 746 Eddleston, - 74 Skirling, ------ 24 Innerleithen, 299\ Stobo, 47 - 478 Walkerburn, 179^ Traquair, ------ 63 Kirkurd, ------ 22 Tweedsmuir, - - - - - 31 Lyne, ------ 16 West Linton, 81 \ Manor, ------ 20 Carlops, - - 16J The pride with which the people of Peeblesshire regard these seventeen hundred stalwarts is overshadowed by the knowledge that some of them have gone forth never to return. Of those whose names are recorded here, 72 have already made the great sacrifice; many have been wounded—some of them very grievously; 19 have been reported as missing; while 9 have been interned in Germany as prisoners of war. iii. iv. PEEBLESSHIRE ROLL OF HONOUR. Included in the Roll are the names of several men who have been discharged from the Army, owing to the serious nature of their wounds or because they had become physically unfit for further service. These names have been retained, as the men are entitled to credit for having "done their bit" while they were able. No record has been kept of those reported wounded, as it was found impossible to differentiate between wounds which disabled the sufferer for perhaps a few days only and those of a more serious nature. At the end of the Roll will be found the names of the officials of the Peeblesshire Volunteer Home Guards, with a list of the members of that organisation. The Publisher has made every effort to secure accuracy in the Roll as now issued, but he is aware that both errors and omissions will be found in it. It would be a great favour if friends who may notice mistakes would at once intimate the same to the Publisher, so that these may be put right in a second edition, should such be called for.
