About the memorial: Two books of remembrance, in vellum, on a desk. They were completed and originally displayed at the cited address, although neither Edinburgh City Council or the National Library of Scotland can now trace them. However the primary source data- the record card index- does still exist and can be viewed, by advance request, at the City Archives Collections Centre at Broughton Street (except the A's, B's and part of the C's)- these are off site as the Archives themselves are at City Chambers. There was a plan to recreate the Roll under the Edinburgh's war project which ran from 2008 to 2014. This was subsequently subsumed by the Scotland's war project- but Edinburgh seems to be the one part of Scotland NOT covered by their website.
