Welcome to the all new Newbattle at War website, which replaces the old site I ran since 2006. Some of the content will look familiar, but most fo the site will be different in appearance

This site commemorates the men and women from the Parish of Newbattle in Midlothian who served in the Great War of 1914 - 1919, the Second World War of 1939-1945 and other conflicts throughout the 20th century

My new book Midlothian at War is now available for £9.99 plus p&p from Lulu.com and helps support this website. 

Dedicated to my late Grandfather Private 64457 John Duncan, Royal Army Medical Corps whom I never met, but was my inspiration to make this journey, and to all the others from the Parish who did their duty for King and Country.
