The daughter of a soldier killed by a German sniper's bullet in the second World War has admitted seeing the start of work on a local war memorial that will bear his name was an emotional moment.
Isobel Turnbull, 78, joined members of the committee behind the Bainsford war memorial project to cut the turf and mark the start of the work in Dawson Park.
Isobel was just over a year old when her father, David Allan - a private with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders - was killed by a sniper's bullet in Germany in 1945. He was just 20 years old when he died, leaving Isobel's mum, Jenny, a widow at the same young age.
