Centenary of the First World War

On Friday I was really pleased to attend the Annual General Meeting of the Great War Dundee group.  This group whose full .title is the Great War Dundee Commemorative Project 2014-2019, this group aims to mark the centenary of the First World War.  There are a lot of plans to mark the centenary of the war in a wide variety of ways.

Dundee played a particularly important role in the First World War and it is important that the sacrifice of many Dundonians. It is important to also remember the many other aspects of the history of the period which should also be recognised. 

I am looking forward to this group bringing together a series of events which will reflect the history of the Great War and fittingly mark the centenary of this important event.  Please keep an eye out for their proposals.
