- 14 August 1939: Colliers' Tribute To Dead Colleague - The employees of Gilmerton Colliery suspended their labour yesterday at the pit as a mark of sympathy with their comrade, Walter Trench, who, as announced in the later editions of The Scotsman yesterday, met his death by falling down an incline about two o'clock in the morning. [Scotsman 15 August 1939]
