EYEMOUTH
Eyemouth
War memorial was unveiled and dedicatd on Sunday afternoon in
the presence of a very large concourse. A service in the Parish
Church formed the prelude to the unveiling ceremony. A few minutes
before theservice a procession was formed in Home Street, consisting
of Eyemouth Ex-Service men, the members of Eyemouth Lodge of St.
Ebba in full regalia under Mr David Gray, W.M., and Eyemouth Boy
Scouts under Mr White. Headed by Pipe-Major Mackie the procession
proceeded to the Church. The Provost and Twon Council, Parish
Council, Harbour Trust, and School Management Committee also attended
the service. Rev. W. B. Kennedy, B.D., presided over a crowded
church. Order of service was: Psalm 124 (2nd version), “Now
Israel may say”; Old Testament Lesson, Rev. J. P. Barton;
hymn 477, “O God our help”; New Tetsament Lesson,
Rev. D. Beale; prayer, Rev. W. F. Moore; hymn 339, “For
all the saints”; offertory; Names of the Fallen, Provost
Scott; Par. 66, “How bright these glorious Spirits shine!”;
Benediction, Rev. J. Miller; Dead March.
The
United Choir was under Mr Muir Lang, while Mr David Dougal officiated
at the organ.
After
the service the congregation assembeled around the Memorial, the
relatives being lined up directly in front, with the Ex-service
men and Masons behind.
Provost
Scott who presided, was supported on the platform by Capt. C.
B. Balfour, Newton Don, and Rev. W. B. Kennedy, B.D., Minister
of Eyemouth. He said Capt, Balfour was personally well known to
the Eyemouth people, and was well known not only as Lord Lieut.
of their county, but also as a Border gentleman of high repute,
and as a patriotic British gentleman; and had taken great and
active interest in alleviating the hardships and difficulties
of those who were unfortunate to be disabled in the Great War.
Capt. Balfour was present that day to help them in their efforts
to perpetuate in Eyemouth the memory of those near and dear to
them who had fallen in the Great War, and he was to unveil the
Memorial which they had erected to remind them of those gallant
and patriotic men who had not returned Home, and who had given
their lives in a noble cause. The Provost called upon Capt. Balfour,
who said they had done him great honour by asking him to come
to Eyemouth to unveil the Memorial to those who had made the supreme
sacrifice for the Homeland. They in Eyemouth had been near to
the War than any other part of the County. They hereaway on Berwickshire
Coast of the North Sea had known what War was. They know firth
hand about the sinking of undefended ships by the brutal means
adopted b the Huns, and had seen gallant men sent to destruction
close to their own Homes. In Eyemouth they had answered the call
in a remarkable way. He remembered well the good returns of the
recruiting in Eyemouth in the early days of the War before conscription
was introduced. Three hundred and twenty-two had joined the Navy
and Auxiliary Forces, 201 had joined the Army, and 8 the Royal
Air Force, making a total of 531. Out of these 62 had laid down
their lives. Many of their gallant neighbours had gone forth familiar
with their own element—the Sea—and joined the Navy
in one form or another. He could tell them in Eyemouth that on
stormy nights, their hearts had gone out to those brave men on
the North Sea who were protecting their shores and their Gomes.
They had justfied to the full that magnificent sentence which
had appeared for 250 years, and which is the preamble of any Act
in connection with the Navy which passes Parliament. The welfare
and the well-being of the country depended upon those stout hearts
who kept the enemy from their shores, amd whose great work for
the Empire clminated in the Surrender procession of the german
ships which sailed into the Firth of Forth, and which was one
of the greatest naval surrenders ever known in the history of
the World. Their men had kept watch over the Army crossing to
France and Flanders. Imagine what would have happended if the
enemy had been allowed to land on their shores. Those who sprang
so nobly to arms took up a trade which they were totlly unaccustomed
to. They knew nothing of the iron discipline they were to be subjected
to, but they never thought of those things; they though(t) only
of the best way they could defend their country. That day Eyemouth
honoured for all time those who had fallen, and they had erected
this memorial in order that they might not forget. But they also
must not forget those who did not fall, and had come back to them.
They and those who fell, had saved the country. Let that never
be forgotten. He was glad to say that no Officer or N.C.O. in
the county of Berwick was in necessitous circumstances or in need
of help. But, alas, every place was not so, and they must all
help the Country generally. That was aprt of the grateful duty
laid upon eveyine of them. Those who had fallen had founght for
liberty and freedom against might and tyranny. Liberty was triumphant
and it was up to them now to maintain freedom. The aftermath of
war was terrible, but if they all joined together, and stood shoulder
to shoulder as true Britons, and did their best they would make
the Country fit for men and women to live in.—Capt. Balfour
read the names of the fallen, and thereafter the gathering stood
in silence for a moment with bowed heads, as a reerant tribute
to the dead.

Capt.
Balfour then stepped forward and pulled the cord which undraped
the Memorial which was covered with a Union Jack.
United
Choir rendered the anthem, “Blest be the Departed,”
and after Dedicatory prayer by Rev. W. B. Kennedy, and the singing
of the Doxology, Drum-Major Abbot and Bugler Plummer from Depot
K.O.S.B., Berwick, sounded Last Post on the bugle, and this
was followed by the playing of a lament on the pipes by Pipe-Major
mackie. After the sound of Reveille on the bugles, Rev. W. B.
Kennedey pronounced the benediction, and the singing of the
National Anthem brought to a close one of the most impressive
services ever held in Eyemouth, and which touched deeply everyone
present.
Relatives
and other donors of wreaths then filed past and laid beautiful
mementoes at the foot of the Memorial.

John and William, from Mother. A token of love to Jimmie, from

Eyemouth
War Memorial
Because
the Auld Kirk at Eyemouth was not large enough to hold the congregation
on Sunday, March 20, a memorial service to the 26 local men who
fell in the last war was relayed by loudspeakers to the crowd
grouped around the war memorial outside the church.
After
the service, in which all the burgh ministers took part, Lord
Haddington, Vice-Lieutenant of Berwickshire, unveiled the memorial.
The
service at the memorial was conducted by the Provost, the Rev.
D. M. Balsillie.
After
paying tribute to those who had made the supreme sacrifice, the
Earl of Haddington, who was accompanied by the Countess of Haddington,
pulled a cord and the Union Jack fell from the memorial.
Floral
tributes were laid by the Provost on behalf of the Town Council,
relatives of the fallen, Eyemouth branch of the British Legion,
Girl Guides, Boy Scouts. A lament was played by Mr Alex. Thompson,
Eyemouth, and three buglers from the Royal Scots sounded “Last
Post” and “Reveille.” At the church service
organist was Mr. David S. MacDonald. A retiring collection for
Earl Haig Fund raised £10.
