DAVENHAM REMEMBERS THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918

To mark the centenary of the end of the First World War later this month the representation of a World War One soldier may be seen outside St Wilfrid’s Church Davenham.  This figure, one of several to be displayed nationally as part of a Royal British Legion initiative, is a reminder of those who gave their lives in this conflict

To commemorate this anniversary, the Davenham Branch of the Royal British Legion and St Wilfrid’s Church Davenham are holding a Commemmoration Day on Saturday 30^th June in the church.  The event will comprise an exhibition and displays reflecting the period, with authentic material of the time.  Glyn Roberts , the event co Ordinator, says “I would be happy to include more personal and local memorabilia in this event.  If anyone is able to loan such items, please get in touch – it would be great to hear from you”.
