Making sure the bravery of St Valery men will not be forgotten

Description

Neil McLennan, St Valery Committee Chair and Director of Leadership Programmes at the University of Aberdeen, said: “The events of June 12, 1940 had a profound impact on every town and village in the Highlands, with most families having one or more male relatives enlisted in the 51st Highland Division. Educating our young people is crucial to ensure we keep the memory and legacy of their sacrifice alive.

“The resources produced by Poppyscotland in partnership with Twinkl Scotland are a welcome addition to their extensive library. They will hopefully inspire more of Scotland’s learners like Iona to become genuinely inquisitive about our nation’s past, and perhaps a handful of these students will be so captivated that they go on to become our military historians of the future.”
