Two sisters are embarking on a personal journey from the United States to Cambusnethan to honour their cousin who died during the First World War in France.
Private William Johnstone Milne VC, who was born in Anderson Street in the village near Wishaw but emigrated to Canada, was awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery posthumously.
He signed up for the war effort in September 1915 at Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan, joining a Canadian regiment and shipped out to Europe where he saw active service for around a year and fought in France at the Battle of Vimy Ridge, where he showed incredible bravery by capturing two machine gun posts.
