Hadley Wood - In Remembrance 1918 - 2018 |
|
Remembrance Sunday falls this year on the 11th November when we remember the end of World War I at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month 100 years ago in 1918. We would like to honour this event in Hadley Wood in a special way, demonstrating gratitude for those who gave their lives for our peace.
Hadley Wood resident, David Harbott together with a panel consisting of John Hall, John Leatherdale and Mike Noronha and Jeff Gale from Barnet Museum have carefully researched those individuals within our past community who gave their lives in both World Wars, and St Paul’s Church has commissioned a new Remembrance Board in their honour which will be unveiled on Remembrance Sunday. In addition there will be the publication of Hadley Wood War Memorial In Memory of the Fallen by David Harbott about those listed on the Remembrance Board click here to read it.
A number of interesting events leading up to a special Remembrance Sunday Service on the 11th November will be held. These will be open to the whole community of Hadley Wood regardless of religious background, ethnicity or nationality.
There will be a Book of Remembrance in which visitors will be invited to contribute recollections of family members who have served in armed conflicts. Display boards will also be available for copies of photographs, letters and documents, contributed in advance to share with everyone within the community. Please contribute to the displays as it will be interesting to hear of people’s experiences that have been handed down through the generations.
St Paul’s Church will be open for everyone to preview the Remembrance Board and read through these various stories or simply pause and reflect. Please make your contributions however short or long with copies of photographs, letters and documents to admin@stpaulshadleywood.org or deliver them to the church on or before Thursday 8th November, from 10 am until 1.00 pm.
On Friday 9th November John Leatherdale and David Harbott will present a slide show featuring ‘Hadley Wood during the World Wars’ and telling some moving personal stories of those who fought and died for their country, alongside the launch of Hadley Wood War Memorial in Memory of the Fallen by David Harbott about those listed on the Remembrance Board click here to read it.
In church there will be a Remembrance Flower Festival with themed floral displays contributed by various community groups within Hadley Wood. Also, following on from the success of the ceramic poppies at the Tower of London ‘Tommy Silhouettes’ awarded by the Armed Services Covenant Fund Trust will be on display.
Finally there will be an opportunity to mark your personal visit by planting your own remembrance cross amongst three white crosses with poppy emblems in the church grounds.
