The Scotsman - Tuesday 10 July 1928 (page 7) reported:
EDINBURGH AND SOUTH-EAST. GORGIE WAR MEMORIAL TABLET UNVEILED. A tablet, placed in the Gorgie War Memorial Hall, bearing the names of those from Gorgie district who had made the supreme sacrifice, was unveiled by Lord Provost Sir Alexander Stevenson at a crowded meeting on Sunday. Mr William Burt presided, and on the platform were the Rev. William Kilpatrick, the Rev. J. M. B. Duncan, Mr Ian Maclntyre, M. P.; Bailie Millar, Councillor Mrs Eltringham Millar, Councillor Andrew Young, Mr Vivian Phillipps, Mr Charles Nightingale, S.S.C.; Mr Wilfrid Guild Normand; K. C.; Parish Councillors Mrs Graham and John Campbell, Major Bruce, and the members of the Gorgie War Memorial Committee, with the honorary treasurer and secretary. The service was opened with prayer by Mr Kilpatrick. The Chairman explained that the efforts of the Committee for the past nine years had been to secure a hall for the Gorgie district. A public meeting was called, and the Committee realised that to build a hall as a memorial would fill a clamant need. In 1923 they purchased the present building, which was now free from debt. It was a great asset to Gorgie. The Committee, in their efforts to raise money, had tried concerts, flag days, carnivals, but, above all, had relied on the contributions from the people in Gorgie, and especially from the shopkeepers and merchants in the district. Mr Burt suggested that as a public clock was imperative in the district, the Committee might see their way some day to place one in the centre of the ground of the Gorgie War Memorial Hall. The Rev. J. M. B. Duncan, B. D., gave an address, after which the Lord Provost unveiled the tablet. The Tyne-castle Parish Church choir, under Mr Roy Hogg, rendered a programme of music appropriate to the occasion, and two soldiers of the Royal Scots Greys sounded the Last Post.
