The Scotsman, 14 May 1923-COLDSTREAM WAR MEMORIAL - EARL HAIG ON BORDER COURAGE - The historic township of Coldstream paid its last tribute yesterday to the 70 men from the parish who laid down their lives in the Great War, when Field Marshal Earl Haig of Bemersyde unveiled a beautiful memorial in the form of a pylon, bearing the names of the fallen on bronze tablets and surmounted by the town coat of arms. Combined with the memorial, which is the work of G Washington Browne RSA, Edinburgh, are two beautiful entrance gates and a roadway to the Home Park.

Earl Haig arrived at the Town Hall, where he inspected the guard of honour from the barracks at Berwick, which consisted of long service men from the KOSB Regiment. He afterwards inspected detachments of ex-service men and women drawn up there. The streets were lined by a large gathering of people from the town and district when the public bodies marched in procession from the Town Hall to the memorial, opposite which a guard of honour from the 4th Battalion KOSB was drawn up. The service at the memorial was of an impressive character, the praise being led by the band of the 4th Battalion KOSB, and supported by the combined choirs of the town. The Earl of Home presided...

[Article then continues at - some length - with Earl Haig's comment on the example of self-sacrifice to the living; local Border traditions - such as the Treaty of Birgham, Flodden and the Coldstream Guards - which had again been shown; and the duty on employers to have themselves added to the King's Roll in order to find employment for disabled ex-servicemen].
