Tributes will be paid to the hundreds of Aberdeen University staff, students and alumni who died during the First World War.
Named crosses of the 341 people killed in the conflict will be displayed on Elphinstone Lawn on Sunday.
Many of them died on or around September 25, 1915, when the university’s U-Company, which was part of The Gordon Highlanders, was in action at the Battle of Loos.
A Remembrance Day service will be held in the King’s College Chapel from 10.30am on Sunday, when its Officer Training Corps (OTC) will also be inspected.
Chaplain Marylee Anderson said: “To see the 341 crosses laid out on Elphinstone Lawn will bring home the devastating effect that the First World War had upon the Aberdeen University community, an impact felt in villages and towns the length and breadth of the UK.
“We felt that in this centenary year of the armistice it was important to take time to reflect upon the great cost of war.
“The crosses will be laid out so that they can form part of the inspection of the OTC following our Remembrance Service and will be left out so that staff, students and visitors to the university can see them in the coming days.”
