As part of a
County wide Commemoration Event, Corsham Primary Schools were invited to
research names from our local war memorials and to create a simple cross with a
poppy and message for each named fallen soldier.
10,000 crosses were made in
total – a staggering number representing and remembering each soldier lost who
was born or lived in Wiltshire. The wall included a panel remembering all those soldiers named on the Corsham War Memorial.
The display
was the centre piece of a commemoration service held at Tidworth Military
Ceremony on the 30th July 2014 attended by Councillors Phil Whalley and Alan Macrae. The display is a moving tribute made more
poignant by the involvement of young children.
