Four serving Manx soldiers will take part in today's (Sunday) Remembrance Day service in the Island.
The infantrymen will represent the 1st Batallion, the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, which recruits across the north-west.
It'll be the first time the regiment has sent a group of soldiers back to the Island to take part in their own Poppy Day commemoration.
The four will parade from the Royal British Legion in Douglas to the service at St Thomas's Church in Douglas - the youngest of them, 19-year old Kingsman James Kelly, will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of the regiment.
Co-ordinator of the trip, Sergeant Dave Cameron, says it will be a very special occasion (audio file attached):
