This Memorial is now within the City of Edinburgh but when it was unveiled it was in Midlothian. It covers the communities of Currie, Balerno and Juniper Green



The panel reads:
“TO THE GLORIOUS DEAD WHOSE NAMES ARE INSCRIBED IN THE CHURCHES WITHIN THIS PARISH”

Aye

St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Balerno.
No longer used due to the Catholic Churches reducing the number of charges within Edinburgh. The building has been bought by the Parish Church for community use.


A Balerno resident is at present writing up the biographies of these men.

Juniper Green is now a Parish in its own right but was in Currie in both wars.
St Andrew's Parish Church is the only one standing now, St Margaret's was converted to a sheltered housing block of flats.
Both Memorial panels are within St Andrews.
