WW100 Commemoration Video by Islay Info
Ron, who runs the popular Islay Info Website created a Youtube Video of the Commemoration Service which was held on the 4th of May at the War Memorial in the Harbour of Port Ellen. During this service HRH Princess Anne laid a wreath at the foot of the Memorial to honour the soldiers who died in the Otranto and Tuscania tragedies as well as the soldiers from Islay and Jura who lost their lives in WW1.
