Historians have created a draft roll of honour for the Dundee sailors and seafarers who died during the First World War.
A commemorative plaque marking their sacrifices is to be unveiled next year and the roll of honour will list everyone from the city who died at sea between 1914 and 1918.
More than 500 seamen and women died from the Dundee area died during the First World War.
The roll of honour listing them will go on permanent display in the City Chambers and Dundee Parish Church (St Mary’s) once the plaque has been unveiled.
The draft roll has now been completed and can be viewed by the public in the City Chambers or online at www.dundeecity.gov.uk/seamensroh
Organisers are now asking for family members to provide details of any amendments to the roll or additional information, pictures or contact details.
As well as ensuring details are correct, they want to be able to build up fuller biographies of those listed.
Information can be given to staff at the City Chambers, online or by emailing dundeeseamemorial@hotmail.com
Hugh Macrae, one of the researchers, said: “The Roll covers anyone who was born, educated, trained, worked or lived in Dundee and its environs.
“We want to ensure that it is as accurate as possible so welcome any information on names omitted, amendments, family and background, photographs, correspondence etc.
“We wish to build a picture of each individual and will happily copy any materials and return them safely to their owners.”
Mr Macrae is also leading the fundraising drive for the Dundee Sea Memorial.
It will feature a plaque designed by local artist Chic Harper.
The plaque will be constructed of glass and feature a cherry wood base, with plans to have it erected at St Mary’s Parish Church.
It is thought more than 4,000 men and women from Dundee served as sailors and seafarers during the First World War, in both the Royal Nacy and Merchant Navy.
