Members of our local Royal British Legion (Белые скалы) 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 лет.
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.
Пожалуйста, дайте великодушно.
The Town Annual Service of Remembrance will take place at the People of Dover’s War Memorial at 11.00am on Sunday 10 Ноября 2019 to commemorate all those service personnel who have given their lives in the service of their country. Everyone is invited to attend.
