      Hi David,
      Thank you for your enquiry.
      This list only refers to the names of those who were put on the respective memorials as requested by their families immediately after WW1. However, the service personnel who died in the Gretna/Quintinshill rail disaster are mostly buried at Edinburgh Rosebank Cemetery (you probably know this). I suspect his name may be on the memorial there.
      As for adding his name to the memorial in Musselburgh, perhaps you might like to make enquiries at Northesk Church itself or Musselburgh Community Council.
      All the best.

      Hi John,
      According to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website, Private John Kay is buried at Cemetery/memorial reference: VIII. C. 10 of Gaza War Cemetery. Do visit their website for more details (if you haven’t already).
      All the best,
      Hanita

      Hi John,
      I’m not sure if this is your late uncle but there is a Private John Kay of the Royal Scots regiment honoured on the Livingston Parish Roll of Honour currently located in the Livingston Mill Farm Heritage Centre. I found this info on the internet. See if you know of an address or work connection for Private Kay to Livingston. Google in quotation marks “John Kay Royal Scots” and you fill hopefully find a link to the West Lothian War Memorials.
      Best Wishes,
      Hanita
