One of two tablets commemorating boys of the Edinburgh Academy who died in the two world wars. One of the school's former pupils was the Liberal MP, Robert Haldane, later Viscount Haldane, who, as Secretary of State for War in the government of Henry Campbell-Bannerman, implemented the extensive army reforms of 1912 in preparation for an eventual European war. In the wake of the reforms the school Cadet Corps of the public schools fed directly into the new Officer Training Corps.
