During this month of December 2014 a new hard back book called FULL CIRCLE - a HISTORY OF THE EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY OFFICER TRAINING CORPS is to be published by George O. SUTHERLAND .

Hopefully it will cover the casualties from that Corps for WW1 and WW2 etc .

Thanks for the information regarding these two books - one of the lads on the war memorial in St Columba's Church, Stirling should appear in both (as I expect many others will as well)
