Ross attends Battle of Arras Commemoration event
MSP Douglas Ross joined many others paying tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in the Battle of Arras at a commemorative event which was held in Cooper Park in Elgin last Friday.
Commenting afterwards Mr Ross said: “It was an excellent commemorative event which included the military currently based in Moray, as well as informing those of us who attended about the history of Moray soldiers who lost their lives in the battle of Arras.”
Mr Ross added: “The ceremony also acknowledged the future these soldiers fought for as school pupils from across Moray planted crosses in a very poignant mark of respect.”
“I’m grateful to everyone involved for organising this event which allowed Moray to recognise the sacrifices made by local people in one of the bloodiest battles of the great war.”
