This obituary for Robert Pithkeathly, a WW1 casualty, contains reference to a Millhill Sunday School Roll of Honour. No other information has been traced of this document, even the location of the Sunday School is unknown (not all such Rolls of Honour were physical objects). There is thus insufficient information to raise a separate report for this, almost certainly lost, document, but it is included here for completeness and reference. THE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL: 16 October 1915- AN INCHTURE HERO Private Robert Pitkeathly, of the 9th Battalion Black Watch, who has been killed at the front was the youngest son of Mr Robert Pitkeathly, Knapp Lodge, Inchture. He was born and brought up on the estate of Rossie Priory, and previous to enlisting was an apprentice in the gardens at Rossie, where his father is estate mason. Quite a number of young men in the Inchture district joined the Colours at the same time as deceased. Private Pitkeathly took a keen interest in sport, and his name figured in the Roll of Honour of Millhill Sunday School. He was only 19 years of age.

Article about Lord Arthur Kinnaird (Scottish footballer), whose 2 sons are on this memorial- www.scottishsporthistory.com/arthur-kinnaird-first-lord-of-football.html Arthur Kinnaird (later Lord Kinnaird, 1847-1923) was football’s first superstar. Described as ‘without exception, the best player of the day’, he took part in nine FA Cup Finals (a record to this day), selected Scotland’s first international team, and was President of the Football Association for 33 years. He was such a dominant figure that he was presented with the FA Cup in gratitude. In his time and under his leadership, football rose from obscurity, played on muddy parks in front of a handful of spectators, to become Britain’s national sport, with crowds of up to 100,000. AF Kinnaird played an integral role as football swept the country like wildfire, thanks to the creation of easily-understood rules and crowd-pulling competitions. Yet he was no mere footballer made good: a consummate philanthropist, he spent his youthful nights helping destitute orphans to read and write, devoted every waking hour to good causes, and earned a fortune in his career as a banker only to give much of it away. As Lord Kinnaird, an ancient title he inherited in 1887, he led national bodies such as the YWCA and the YMCA, was Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and fostered the spread of evangelical religion. His sporting accomplishments were widespread: he was a Cambridge University tennis blue, university fives and swimming champion, and took first place in an international canoe race. He won athletics prizes as a youth and played competitive cricket past his fiftieth birthday. This was, however, no life of unburdened triumph: he lost two sons, killed in the First World War, tragedies which eventually led to the demise of the Kinnaird title before the 20th century was out. (see also the book-'Arthur Kinnaird, First Lord of Football, by Andy Mitchell, ISBN: 978-1463621117)
