DOVER COMUNE
Ricordo il servizio domenicale e la sfilata
Memoriale di guerra di Dover
Domenica 11 novembre 2018
Alle 11.00 di domenica 11 novembre 2018, 100 anni dalla firma dell'armistizio in 1918, Dover ricorderà tutti i militari e le donne che hanno dato la vita al servizio del loro paese. In this year of special thanksgiving for the end of the First World War, a mural commemorating the sacrifices made by those who served their country in time of war has been installed next to the War Memorial.
“They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England’s foam”.
By Laurence Binyon (1914)
Una sfilata di standard, veterans and other organisations will assemble outside the former Marks & Spencer in Biggin Street at 10.30am and march to the War Memorial in front of Maison Dieu House where two minutes silence will be observed at 11.00am.

The Royal British Legion Dover White Cliffs Branch will be laying out the Legion’s Memorial Crosses in the Garden of Remembrance and receiving donations in support of the 2018 Poppy Appeal from Friday 26° Ottobre.
Christine Walton – Joint Secretary of the Dover White Cliffs Branch of the Royal British Legion and Organiser of the Poppy Appeal said –
The Dover Garden of Remembrance looks amazing. The British Legion Memorial Crosses will be in place from now until 2 weeks after Remembrance Sunday and the wreaths for a month. Chi vorrà ritirare la propria corona potrà farlo o verrà riciclata.
