Festival of Remembrance in the Caird Hall

Oct 29 2010 Perthshire Advertiser Friday

Dear Editor, – May I draw your readers’ attention to The Royal British Legion Scotland’s Angus and Perthshire Area Festival of Remembrance in the Caird Hall, Dundee, on Saturday, November 6?

This year we mark 60 years since the outbreak of the Korean War, and 70 years since the Highland Division fought to the end in France. We also mark the sacrifices of our contemporary servicemen and women, and we look ahead to the citizens of the future as we mark 150 years of cadet activities in the UK.

To help us remember and celebrate, we have the Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Scotland, the Pipes and Drums of Angus and Dundee Battalion of the Army Cadet Force and the Northern Area Band of the Sea Cadets, plus traditional community singing and an ecumenical Act of Remembrance.

Tickets are £5, available from the City Box Office, Dundee, by phone on 01382-434940, or online at citybox@dundeecity.gov.uk; and any profits from the evening go to PoppyScotland, or as older readers may prefer to call it, the Earl Haig Fund Scotland.

Col ADF Maclean TD, Festival Convener.
