Girvan & District Great War Project

@DrHelenFry Just heartbreaking 💔

What is the best World War Two book you’ve ever read?

A great afternoon with the P5/6 pupils at @sacred_heartps They have been reading War Horse and learning about WW1 and have done some great stuff about Anne Frank. Chatted about the animals and their roles in war. Great to see the next generation of historians. Big 👍🏽 to Ms Taylor

@PaMemorial @postcard13 I remember seeing this cracker over in Derry a good few years ago Dave…😂😂

@postcard13 Reminds me of a video of some Pars fans outside a shop in Arbroath Ian, the perfect sign if the shop front is long enough. Sadly I think the shop has since closed. youtube.com/shorts/JC91STS…

#ShopfrontFriday R N Carpenter at no.4, Ironmongers, Hardware, Garden Tools, everything from garden rollers, hanging baskets, saws, wheelbarrows….. #postcard #oldpostcard

The amazing Anthony has restored the Nisbet family headstone in Douglas Bank Cemetery - now back to its former glory. Link below to Billy Nisbet’s story with thanks to Ritchie and Lorna @GADGWP. #LestWeForget youtube.com/watch?v=wjWZw6…

@BloodyPolitics Arran Mall looks so sad..

Urban decay, folly, flooded terrorist barrier.

@TonyCurran69 @SamaEyewear All the very best from the Ayrshire Conaghan’s Mr C..☘️🍾

Happy new year peeps! 🐴 🥃🎉🙏❤️ @SamaEyewear

@BloodyPolitics And my wee Granda in the background. He was working there as a porter at the time. He’s standing next to the woman on the left..

Roy Rogers was another celebrity guest. His horse Trigger famously climbed the Grand staircase. True story. 🐎

Just stunning here in #ayrshire this evening..

@PaMemorial @CWGC and of course for Francesco 🇮🇹

Tea lights placed on Christmas Eve for Operation Candlelight, on behalf of Project 71. Photos of the @CWGC plot at #Dunfermline Cemetery, Halbeath Road. Remembering all of the fallen at Christmas.

@PaMemorial @CWGC Ours at the 🇫🇷 memorial..

Weather was the best for Christmas Eve.. Candles all done for our fallen who are buried here in Girvan.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without Ricciarelli now would it?

Yip…🎄

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇫🇷And the stones made it from Girvan to 🇫🇷. Placed at the grave of the Captain in Saint-Suliac. The stone for the memorial in Girvan is from near St Malo. 🇫🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @BrittanyRememb1 @PaillerSte94881 @PoppyLegion @SF_Siege @misteringouf @LegionScotland

@sacred_heartps So honoured to be involved in inspiring a new generation. The pupils from even went to the @ScotWarMemorial to see the names of those from Girvan in the books. Full circle.

We are so proud of our pupils and their Freedom Project. Please visit the McKechnie Institute in Girvan to see the exhibition. VE Day 80 and VJ80 have been commemorated once again and we know this song and their journey to complete will not be forgotten. vimeo.com/1141167282/c54…

A bit of light reading on the school run…

Lovely message from HRH The Prince and Princess of Wales for the ceremony yesterday at Treflez, Brittany. Familes & local people were very touched and grateful for such a kind gesture. @PoppyLegion @CWGC @RoyalFamily

Fantastic work as always by those in Brittany.
