Dover Remembrance Sunday Service 2019

Members of our local Royal British Legion (White Cliffs) Branch braved the rain today to lay out the Garden of Remembrance at the People of Dover’s War Memorial. The black British Legion official crosses are placed in memory of all those regiments connected with Dover during the two World Wars. Coordinator and former Reservist Peter Hall has been part of the hard-working team for 10 années.

Peter said

It is a privilege to do this work each year in memory of all those men and women who put their lives on the line. My Father was in the RAF and I wear his medals not only for him but to commemorate all those thousands of others who risked as much as he did and gave their lives

Members of the RBL will be at the Garden of Remembrance for the next two weeks collecting as part of the Poppy Appeal in support of the Charity which does so much to help our service men and women and their families.

S'il vous plaît donner généreusement.
