Families of fallen Armed Forces personnel are being urged to help honour their loved ones through a lasting memorial.
Sunderland City Council is inviting relatives to apply to have names inscribed on the Memorial Wall beside the Burdon Road war memorial.
The tribute, built with funds raised by the Brothers in Arms organisation, commemorates servicemen and women from the community who have died in conflict, training, special operations and non-conflict operations since the Second World War.
Councillor Paul Donaghy, the city’s Armed Forces Champion, said: "The Memorial Wall is one of Sunderland’s most significant acts of remembrance, recognising those who lost their lives while serving their country since the Second World War.
"Sunderland has never forgotten those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and this memorial ensures their service and dedication will be remembered for generations."
Names can be added to the wall in time for Remembrance commemorations in November, with applications requested by Friday, July 31.

Cllr Donaghy added: "If your loved one is not yet commemorated, I would encourage you to get in touch and help us honour their memory."
The Memorial Wall was made possible through a public appeal by five bereaved families, raising more than £150,000 over two years.
Applications should be sent to the Mayor’s Office representative, Mandy Howard, on 07766 367 426, or email mayor@sunderland.gov.uk
