A chance to remember those who made ultimate sacrafice
Kilmarnock Standard
|May 07, 2025
Last Friday I visited Kilmarnock Football Club to witness the signing of the Armed Forces Covenant in their permanent memorial garden.
It was a pleasure to see their commitment to our veterans and their acknowledgement of those who have passed defending our country.
The timing was pertinent as in this most important of weeks, we celebrate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day and we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defeat Nazi Germany.
The Scottish contribution to the events leading up to VE Day on May 8, 1945, was vital and multifaceted, encompassing military service, industrial output, and civilian support. Scotland, though small in size, played a disproportionately large role in Britain’s war effort during World War II.
