VIDEO: Carnoustie VC heroes to be remembered in floodlit links ceremony

A memorial to two Angus Victoria Cross heroes of the First World War is to be the setting for a poignant floodlit commemoration on the armistice centenary next month.

The monument to Charles Jarvis and George Samson has drawn international interest since being erected at Carnoustie golf links in April 2015.

One side bears the inscribed stone plaques honouring the young servicemen, the other a tournament success roll of honour of Carnoustie golfers in significant professional and amateur competition.

It was the scene of a wreath-laying at the start of this year’s Open Championship  in July.

Carnoustie branch of the Royal British Legion Scotland and Carnoustie Golf Links have now combined in a proposal to stage a special commemoration as darkness descends on Satruday November 10 as part of the town’s remembrance weekend contribution to armistice events across the nation on the important 100th anniversary of the cessation of hostilities.

The traditional Remembrance Sunday service will also go ahead at Carnoustie war memorial, but Legion chair Davie Paton said the recent installation of floodlighting at the links memorial would set the scene for an atmospheric reflection of the pair’s bravery.

Jarvis was awarded one of the first VCs of World War One for his gallantry in the Battle of Jemappes.

The one-time apprentice plumber, who was a Lance Corporal in the 57th Field Company Royal Engineers at the outbreak of the war, worked for 90 minutes under heavy fire and in full enemy view to demolish a bridge on August 23 1914.

Royal Naval Reserve seaman Samson was recognised with the nation’s highest award for gallantry for his heroism during the Gallipoli campaign.

Despite being wounded, he survived an entire day under enemy fire working the lighters conveying the Allied invasion force ashore from the landing ship River Clyde.

Both men survived the war.

Mr Paton said a descendant of Samson will be among those at the November 10 ceremony, with Legion standard bearers due to march on at 6.15pm for the brief service he hopes will be well-attended by locals.

“There is no intention to take away from the traditional Armistice commemoration on the 11th and that will still go ahead at Carnoustie war memorial,” he said.

“But the VC memorial looks stunning with the installation of the floodlighting and in conjunction with the golf links committee we thought it offered the opportunity to stage a special, short commemoration to these two brave men,” said Mr Paton.
