Perth Academy - Flowers of the Forest

[DoubleD]

Please find below a link to a video on YouTube.

The video was made by the young people of Perth Academy, and was shown last weekend at an event in Perth called DiverseCiTay. The event was part of the Year of Young People 2018.

Of course I am biased, having worked with this wonderful group of young people for the last four years, but I think it is a fantastic piece of work. It is also really refreshing to hear about the impact of a Great War project from the perspective of the young people themselves.

This is also yet another thank you to the members of this forum. Apart from the detailed information which has been provided by members, most of the links to the families of our fallen came about as a direct result of posts on the forum.

Enjoy,

p.s. I have never been very good at these link thingy's, so if it doesn't work just go on to YouTube and type in Perth Academy.

The semi colon should be after "The torch" not before. Otherwise very good.

Thanks for the replies, and apologies for the mistake in punctuation!
