Members of the West of Scotland Military Wives Choir joined Royal Navy staff at Faslane for an event to raise funds for the repair of graves at Scotland’s first submarine base.
Home-made baking was on sale, with the cash raised going towards a project to repair the Dundee grave markers of early submariners from the 7th Submarine Flotilla.
“We have already had a generous donation of £1,000 from charity ‘We Remember Submariners’ and today’s cake sale has raised £705,” said Warrant Officer Andy Knox, Command Warrant Officer Submarines.
“The 7th Submarine Flotilla was Scotland’s first submarine base, opening in Dundee in 1909. Six submariners are buried in the town’s Eastern Cemetery but unfortunately, over the years, their grave markers have fallen into disrepair and are in need of attention.”
Money raised will go towards employing a stonemason to renovate and restore the existing grave markers.
