Tour Scotland Video Armistice Day War Memorial North Inch Park Perth Perthshire



Tour Scotland Armistice Day video of the 51st Highland Division War Memorial on visit to North Inch Park in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The memorial was made by Alan Herriot and is of a little Dutch girl welcoming her Highland liberator with a posy of flowers.

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the Armistice, on 11th November 1918, to signal the end of World War One. Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day after the Second World War. The 51st Highland Division was an infantry division of the British Army that fought on the Western Front in France during the First World War from 1915 to 1918. The division was raised in 1908, upon the creation of the Territorial Force, as the Highland Division and later 51st Highland Division from 1915.
