North Ayrshire Council unanimously backed a motion to mark the centenary of the First World War next year.

NAC will work with the Royal British Legion and the War Graves Commission to identify and recognise those who have fallen in the battle whose names are not presently on their local war memorial.

Cllr. Jim Montgomerie said; “I am delighted that I got unanimous support for my motion simply to make sure that our council commemorates the centenary of the start of the First World War next year and to put all names of soldiers who have fallen in all conflicts in the theatre of battle up to the present day on their local War Memorial.”
