CUSTODIANS of war memorials are being encouraged to ensure the memorials are in good repair ahead of the centenary of the start of the First World War next year.
Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson MHK, chairman of the Preservation of War Memorials Committee, said: ‘I work closely with the Armed Forces and believe we owe it those commemorated to make sure no memorial is neglected or forgotten.’
There are about 150 war memorials in the island.
