From The Scotsman on Wednesday 2nd November 1921.
CHRIST CHURCH, MORNINGSIDE, EDINBURGH - The war memorial, in the form of a bronze tablet, which has been placed in the east wall of the north transept. "To the honoured memory of those from Christ Church, Morningside, who gave their lives in defence of truth and freedom in the Great War, 1914-1919," was unveiled yesterday, All Saints Day, by Mr James M. Watt, and dedicated by Bishop Walpole. The anthem sung by the choir immediately after the dedication of the memorial was "Blest are the departed," by Spohr. The bishop preached the sermon. Twenty-five members of the congregation, including Miss Daisy K. M. Coles, who was killed in a bombing raid on the hospital where she was nursing in France, perished in the war. A bugler of the 1st Battalion The Highland Light Infantry, at the conclusion of the service, sounded the "Last Post" and the "Reveille." The Bishop was assisted by the Rector, the Rev, Eric H, Brereton, O.B.E., Hon. Chaplain to the Forces, 3rd Class.
