Visit to an art exhibition at St Matthew’s Church #Perth today. Lovely to catch up with artist & former Perth Academy/ French teacher Douglas Findlay and also meet Natalia. Many former pupils of the school on the war memorials which are in the safe custody of St Matthew’s.

Totally agree with Patricia Keppie this is a visit not to be missed.
Many thanks Commonwealth War Graves Foundation volunteer Jim Leggat for taking time on his holiday to visit the Halifax Nova Scotia Naval Memorial to remember Frederick Staines. One of 21 crew members of HMS Nabob who lost their lives on 22 August 1944. 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 Thanks also “For Posterity’s Sake”

Some images of a brilliant day y’day with Elaine War Graves at Cultybraggan Camp #Comrie #Perthshire sharing the work of Commonwealth War Graves. TY to the volunteers for their hospitality, people from Troon, Dundee, Staffordshire & a car club from Aberdeenshire who shared a local veterans story.
Among my 📷 y’day but deserves a post of its own. Shared by the car club from Aberdeen at our Commonwealth War Graves stand, a tribute prepared by Peter’s carer to celebrate his 100th birthday. So important that people listen to our veterans and record their stories. Belated Happy Birthday Peter!
