A Tayside community came together to remember the men who gave their lives during the First World War.
The Memorial Hall at Monikie was the focus for the plaque-laying ceremony in honour of the 27 men of the parish who died in combat.
Their plaques were placed on trees planted in their honour by youngsters from Monikie and Newbigging primary schools.
The hall was built as a tribute to the war dead but their names were not listed there.
This has now been remedied, with the new plaques stating their names, ranks, places of death and ages.
The ceremony was led by the Rev David Collins and the Last Post was performed by P7 pupil Struan Gorrie.
The project was organised by Monikie and Newbigging Community Council and supported by grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Angus Council.
Hamish Evatt, from the community council, said: “We felt it was appropriate to remember these men in the 100th anniversary of the war.
“When we approached the Heritage Lottery Fund for funding, we were initially knocked back because they wanted to see the whole community involved.
“We then involved the two primary schools who have conducted First World War projects and are also holding a special concert at the hall on Friday evening.
“We also gave a talk at the school and provided them with a typical lunch from the First World War toad-in-the-hole and jam roly-poly. They scoffed the lot.”
It has recently emerged that Monikie also has a direct link to the poet who penned Flanders Field, which led to the poppy being used to commemorate soldiers who died in the war.
Canadian Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, who wrote the poem as a tribute to a fallen comrade, was the great-grandson of the Rev John Eckford, who served the Angus parish from 1828-51.
The poem has been reproduced in the programme for tonight’s First World War concert at Monikie Memorial Hall, which features around 100 children from Monikie and Newbigging primary schools.
Headteacher Lesley Milloy said: “Each class has done a topic on the war and has been looking forward to the plaque ceremony and concert.
“As well as the songs and performances at the concert, there will also be moments of reflection at the sacrifices the men from this area made.”
Thursday’s ceremony was watched by Councillor Bill Bowles, who paid tribute to the community effort.
He said: “The community council have done some really good work and this is a fitting tribute to the Great War dead.”
