Depute Provost Attends Victoria Cross Medal Donation Ceremony

South Ayrshire’s Depute Provost, Mary Kilpatrick attended a ceremony recently in Glasgow for the presentation of the Victoria Cross medal of Fusilier Dennis Donnini by his family to the Royal Highland Fusiliers Museum for safekeeping and public display.  

The ceremony told the story of Dennis Doninni VC who was in 4/5^th Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers and was sadly killed in action on 18 January 1945. Donnini was the youngest recipient of the VC in World War 2. Displaying the medal in the museum plays an important part in history and honouring the men and women who served.
