REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE 2013 - CAMPBELTOWN
Campbeltown’s Act of Remembrance will be held at the War Memorial, Kinloch Green at 10.50am on Sunday 10 November 2013. This will be followed by a service at the Lorne and Lowlands Church at 11.40am.
The Royal British Legion Scotland Campbeltown Branch will lay a wreath at the Cross of Sacrifice and poppy crosses on the War Graves in Kilkerran cemetery on Saturday 9 November 2013 at 10.30am. Members of the public are invited to attend.
Alistair Kenny, Chairman of the Royal British Legion Scotland Campbeltown Branch said: “Remembrance has different meaning to different people; some remember family and comrades lost during the two World Wars; some remember the evacuation of children to safer areas while others remember more recent times when they have lost loved ones in the conflicts that our forces have and continue to be part of. Some remember the horrors they witnessed and then there are those who are still suffering from what they have been through.
“Remembrance Day is a time for everyone to come and join us in remembering and paying our respects and, even if you have not been directly affected, you are invited to show your support by remembering those who have.”
Argyll and Bute Council’s Councillor Donald Kelly added: “There are very few families within our local community who have not been affected by the various conflicts throughout the years. It is therefore a privilege and an honour to represent Argyll and Bute Council at this year’s Remembrance Service.”
Marching contingents and members of the public who wish to march to the War Memorial are asked to meet at 10am at Campbeltown Old Quay. Free tea and coffee will be provided by Callie Catering for those marching. Those who are laying wreaths as part of the official ceremony are invited to attend a short briefing at the War Memorial at 10.15am. There will be an opportunity at the end of the official wreath laying ceremony for individuals to place their floral tributes on the War Memorial. At the end of the Act of Remembrance the parade will march to the Lorne and Lowlands Church.
