Unforgotten

On Armistice Day the children of Woodbridge were at the war memorial at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

They read out the names of all those young men of the town - the large majority from the two poorest streets - who had gone out to war as volunteers or conscripts 100 years ago and not returned.

It was not only extraordinarily moving to hear childish voices reading out each and every name in full (I was wiping away a tear by the end), but also, as you can see below, each dead soldier in both world wars had his name remembered with a child-drawn epitaph.

In Woodbridge, the names on the memorial are still the names of our friends and neighbours
