A missing feature of Limekilns and Charlestown war memorial will be replaced in time for Remembrance Sunday.
A bronze sword, which was mounted on the memorial when it was unveiled in 1921 and later went missing, will be back in place with help from a Centenary Memorials Restoration Fund grant.
Launched to coincide with the centenary of the First World War, the scheme is funded by the Scottish Government and Historic Environment Scotland, and administered by War Memorials Trust.
Across Scotland, 21 projects have been offered grants totalling £190,000 in the recent round of funding.
Limekilns and Charlestown war memorial received £2,370.
Little is known about what happened to the original Sword of Sacrifice on the memorial. Crafted based on historical photographs and drawings, the new sword will be dedicated on November 8.
It will be on display in the Queens Hall, Charlestown, during an event starting at 7pm on November 5. The evening will also include an illustrated talk by the team who have been researching the history of the memorial.
Other monuments benefiting from funding include the iconic Kitchener memorial in Orkney.
The awards range from £890 to £35,000 for vital repairs and conservation work.
Since the scheme was launched by former First Minister Alex Salmond in 2013, a total of £528,000 has been awarded to 67 projects.
It is believed that up to 10% of Scotland’s estimated 6,000 war memorials are in need of restoration.
With £1 million made available, communities can still apply for a share of the funds.
Frances Moreton, director of War Memorials Trust, said: “The charity is delighted at the level of interest in this scheme and the enthusiasm of people across the country to do something about the condition of their memorials.
“There are still plenty of funds available for the right projects so get in touch to see if we can help your local war memorial.
“Also, I would like to remind everyone that grants are available to memorials commemorating any conflict, for example, recent grants have supported Second World War and Waterloo memorials.”
