On Remembrance Sunday at the Service in Martham Parish Church at 10.15 a.m. there are plans to put Remembrance crosses in a ‘Field of Remembrance’ in the grass by the War Memorial for every one of the people whose names are on the War Memorial. This is also as an act of remembrance for everyone who gave their lives, so that we can live in freedom.
We hope that those who still have relatives living in the Martham area, will be there to lay the cross in their memory. There are also those who have died in conflicts since then and they will be remembered too.
If you have an ancestor who is named on the War Memorial, and be willing to come to plant a cross, please get in touch with Ann.
Below is a list of those who are named, so please think about your ancestors and get in touch if you can help.
