History enthusiasts are being urged to look out World War I memorabilia for a military open day later this week.
The Moray’s War project aims to develop a comprehensive record of Moray and those living in the area between 1914 and 1918.
The open day, which takes place at Elgin Library on Saturday from 10am-3pm is the latest in a series of events designed to increase knowledge and awareness of everyday life both on the battlefield and on the home front.
There will be various displays on the day and experts will be on hand to offer advice and deal with queries and to discuss artifacts that people bring along.
Elgin community librarian Jane Thomas said the event would present a perfect opportunity for local people to add to an ever-growing story about the harsh realities of life at home in Moray during the years of the Great War.
“Previous open days have been excellent,” she said.
“The recent Keith open day was a great success, with lots of fascinating information and material being brought in, including beadwork made by Turkish prisoners of war, rare manuals for rifles and standing orders from the Front.”
A catalogue of information is already available on the Moray’s War website at www.scotlandswar.ed.ac.uk/moray
