Dfc World War One Memorial Plaque

[DFCSS]

The Dundee Football Club Supporters Society is currently looking into commissioning a commemorative plaque in honour of all Dundee FC players and staff members who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War One. Given the fact that we are now in the 100 year anniversary period of the Great War, we feel that this simple but poignant gesture would be a fitting tribute from Dundee Supporters to those from the club who lost their lives during the First World War.

Through investigations with the club and with the assistance of local historians we have already managed to confirm nine of the individuals from the club who were killed in combat during World War One; but we still need your help.

We are only at the early stages of planning this project and we do not have any pressing timescale constraints however we are more than conscious that we need to be certain that EVERY Dundee FC player or staff member who lost their life during the Great War is not only engraved on to the plaque but is given the lasting tribute and recognition that their sacrifice so clearly deserves.

We are looking for feedback from our supporters and local community members relating to this matter.

Are there any other individuals who we should be paying tribute to? Is there any further information out there relating to the names we have already uncovered? Do you have any thoughts or ideas on the initiative as a whole or indeed where do you feel that this commemorative plaque would be best located in and around Dens Park?

To assist in visualising what we are proposing, we have included an indicative design of the plaque bearing the names of the nine fallen players we have identified at this stage.

Any and all feedback will be gratefully received. You can contact us directly at contact@ dee4life.com with your comments or any information you may have. Alternatively, you can add your feedback to this thread and it will be picked up.

Thanks,

DFCSS
