This Memorial can be found at the right hand side of the main entrance to Section B in Inveresk Churchyard, Musselburgh.

However, as I do not come from the Musselburgh area, I can only assume that Crookston covers the area between Musselburgh, Wallyford and Whitecraig.

There are 59 names on the Memorial. 28 in the left hand column and 28 in the right hand colum, with 3 along the bottom.

The names are as follows: (Left hand column)
