A morning to remember in our village and all around the country

We shall not forget them.

Thinking of grandpa Sam. Born in Odessa – arrived in England as a babe in arms. Fought for his adopted country and survived the Battle of the Somme. A first job after the Great War was in a hospital morgue. “I’d seen so many dead bodies. It hardened me to the sight.” No therapy in those days. Just back into civilian life, work and family.
