Lest we forget WW1
Remembering the outbreak of WW1
On 4th August
St John the Baptist Church, Quinton was open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m for quiet
reflection to commemorate the anniversary of the commencement of the Great War,
1914 – 1919. During the day appropriate prayers were offered and
there were readings of poetry from the period.
Visitors lit personal candles and
signed a Book of Remembrance.
There were displays of
the histories of the men from Quinton and Preston Deanery, especially of those
who did not return, and the men from Hackleton, Horton and Piddington were also
remembered: RIP.
Family and personal
memorabilia from many families in Quinton and Piddington was on display
including a history of Quinton School at the time and the work of Army
Chaplains through the War.
We would like to thank
everyone who donated memorabilia and came to join us in remembrance – “LEST WE
FORGET”
