The War Memorial
At a little before 7.00 p.m. on Friday 25 May 2008 more than two hundred people stood in silence around the war memorial in Bergh Apton’s churchyard, just as others had done, almost to the hour, exactly eighty-seven years before. The first time, on Friday 28th May 1920, had been the dedication of the memorial, with the names of twenty men of the village carved on its stone. This second time the memorial was being re-dedicated, and the names had risen to forty-one. |
