On Monday 4th November 2019 Deputy Lieutenant Millar Stoddart DL attended a remembrance presentation at Kirkfieldbank Primary School .This followed an invitation from the Ancre Somme Association Scotland who were giving a talk to the children on HM Armed Forces and Remembrance. Education is at the heart of the Association’s work engaging with schools and community groups to honour the service given by the brave members of our armed forces and remember the ultimate sacrifice given by so many in the Great War and subsequent conflicts . After the presentation, discussion took place with the pupils before Millar unveiled the ” Lest We Forget ” bench very kindly donated by the Ancre Somme Association and shown in the attached photograph .
The Lieutenancy wish the Association continued success in all of its future work with schools and community groups .
