North Berwick Books of Remembrance

This beautifully illustrated leather bound Book of Remembrance was created as a permanent record of the names of the fallen from North Berwick in the Great War. The book was the inspiration of Reverend William Lyon who lost three brothers in the Great War.

A second illuminated Book of Remembrance was created for the Second World War and both books were kept in the Burgh Council of Chambers. Both books are now on long term loan to the museum from North Berwick Community Council.

Museum trustee Ian Goodall has photographed the individual pages of both books and has created a book of First World War entries which can be viewed at the museum.
