Remembrance Day Service 1956

Description

When the call sounded for the young men of the kingdom to go to its defence, the village of Wyndham and the surrounding area were not found lacking. An entire generation, the Wyndham Pals, volunteered to fight. Few of them returned.

Their sacrifice is honoured by the village cenotaph. In 1947, the names of those local lads who fought and died in the Second World War were added.

[A pencilled note below the text reads: How about those who died at the hands of the Protocol thugs? Who will remember them?]
