ARMISTICE COMM EMORATIONS : 11TH NOVEMBER <strong>2018</strong><br />

ON THE 11TH<br />

NOVEMBER<br />

we gathered for<br />

Choral Evensong<br />

having ‘laid out’<br />

our family members<br />

in the South<br />

Transept: soldiers<br />

killed in action or<br />

on active service<br />

in the Great War<br />

100 years ago.<br />

The occasion was<br />

solemn but there<br />

was a lightness<br />

as congregation<br />

members shared<br />

artefacts, stories<br />

and memories<br />

of loved ones at<br />

the end of the<br />

day — a century<br />

of “remembering<br />

and forgetting”,<br />

as we have noted<br />

in the Forgotten<br />

Voices pages from<br />

2014 to <strong>2018</strong> (in<br />

our <strong>2018</strong> summer<br />

double issue<br />

Voices displayed<br />
