Dr Ken Bogle and the Midlothian Council's Library Service have identified this war memorial. We don’t have a photograph or location but it does still exist. I have added it to our database and I hope extra information can be added here at a later date.

M.C., Sea. Highrs.
- For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
