A fundraising campaign has been launched to brighten up Castle Douglas’ war memorial.
The sculpture on the roundabout at the top of King Street is in need of a clean.
And the Castle Douglas branch of Legion Scotland also wants to install lights so it can be illuminated at night.
The committee has now launched an online fundraiser with a £1,000 target so that the work can be carried out ahead of this year’s Remembrance commemorations.

Committee member and former Royal Engineer, Johan Van Heerden, said: “As a committee we decided to try to raise the funds to get it cleaned.
“We need someone with the right chemicals to do it and the guys who we have a quote from deal with memorials all around the area, they’re specialist cleaners.
“We’ve some money set aside but are looking to raise money as well.
“If we get a bit extra we’d like to update the area. At night time it’s not lit up so we’re going to try to get some solar panelled lights and a few other things.”
