A SPECIAL service was held in Dundee Parish Church (St Mary’s) yesterday to honour members of the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry who lost their lives in the first and second world wars.

A Book of Honour compiled by the regiment containing the names of all those who gave their lives during the two conflicts was displayed during the service.

The church is home to the regiment flag, which was put in place when the regiment was disbanded in 1975.

John Gilmour, the regiment’s honorary colonel, was among those who attended the service.

The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry is now C Squadron of the Queen’s Own Yeomanry. Many members have recently served both in Bosnia and Iraq.

The sacrifice of all who gave their lives serving with the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry in the two great wars will also be marked during the morning service at Cupar Old Parish Church on November 20.

It is hoped that many members of the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry will be able to attend the service, and then go on to Yeomanry House.
