It’s so sad to see the faces of all these young men who didn’t come back from the First World War instead of just a list of names on the 3 towns war memorials. Thanks for doing all this PT - it’s been a huge undertaking - George would have been so proud. Maybe for some of the newer members, you could give some of George’s history at the conclusion of this topic - I think you said that would be around next month.

Thanks again
Meg
