The 100th anniversary of Ardrossan's war memorial will be marked with a rededication service this Friday.
The Saltcoats, Ardrossan and Stevenston branch of Legion Scotland is inviting the Ardrossan community, local groups, schools, churches, relatives, members of the public and other interested groups to join them at the memorial on South Crescent Road at 12 noon on Friday, May 5 to participate in the service.
Floral tributes, wreaths and dedications will be welcome.
On May 5, 1923, several thousand people gathered at the South Beach Memorial for the dedication and unveiling service.
With the end of the devastating World War, less than five years earlier, the community of Ardrossan came together to fund, design and construct a memorial to those local service men who had died during the 1914-1918 conflict.
According to the Imperial War Museum, the names of 149 men who died during the Great War appear on the memorial.
