Special long poppies will be placed at war graves in the Cowdenbeath and Lochgelly areas before the VE Day 80th Anniversary.
Cowdenbeath Rotary Club, the British Legion in Crossgates and primary school pupils from Crossgates and Hill of Beath have co-ordinated the effort.
At Thursday’s rotary club meeting, Craig Bennet, club vice-president said: "Thanks to the work of Jimmy Robertson at Crossgates Legion, and the pupils at the schools in Crossgates and Hill of Beath, the plan is to have the long poppies placed starting on Monday May 5."
“Hopefully all the poppies will be in place by the 80th anniversary of VE Day on May 8.”
