WAR MEMORIAL PLAQUE UNVEILING
Saturday February 8 at 2.30pm
Those who came to the Harvest Supper last year will have seen the plaque that was to be installed at the War Memorial to commemorate the air crash victims of February 1944.
The formal unveiling will take place at the War Memorial and afterwards at the village hall for refreshments where there will be a display of articles, artefacts, memoirs and cuttings from newspapers of the tragedy.
Everyone welcome.
The service will be conducted by the British Legion and we anticipate that some descendants of the victims’ families and those family members of the victims will be able to join us.
