HUNDREDS of Moray school pupils put their creative work on display at a First World War centenary roadshow at RAF Lossiemouth, run by the national charity Never Such Innocence.
Never Such Innocence is dedicated to educating young people about the war, its impact and legacy, through creative means.
Pupils from eight schools in Moray have been studying the First World War for several months.
This year’s Never Such Innocence competition invites children and young people to submit poetry, art and songs inspired by events of the war.
The roadshow at RAF Lossiemouth offered the children, aged between nine and 15 years of age, an opportunity to showcase their efforts in remembering and recognising the major effect it had on the world.
This year’s roadshows form part of the RAF’s centenary celebrations to commemorate, celebrate and inspire.
Lossiemouth’s station commander, group captain Jim Walls, said: “In this the year of the RAF’s [100th] anniversary, it is especially appropriate that the children could visit RAF Lossiemouth to see how we have developed over the last century into the dynamic, robust force that protects UK airspace and contributes to operations worldwide.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
