I welcome news that South Lanarkshire is hoping to restore some of Clydesdale’s war memorials ahead of next year’s 100thanniversary of the start of WW1. The work will be met by a new Scottish Government centenary memorials fund.
These memorials will be a hugely important part of next year’s commemorations. They are a living link to the past and a sombre and moving reminder of the people from this area who made the ultimate sacrifice.
