Senior School Honours Remembrance Day
Our Senior prefects, Gina & Ione, led a very interesting assembly at Seniors this week, on the subject of Remembrance Day. Their focus was on the thousands of troops from across the Commonwealth who served and sacrificed their lives in the First World War in support of Britain. This included troops from across the Caribbean, Africa (including Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Malawi & Uganda) and India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Many served in the trenches, and in particularly the conflict in eastern Europe.
Their sacrifice has not been forgotten. At the annual Remembrance Sunday service at the cenotaph in London, you will see forces from around the world represented.
By wearing a red poppy you too can honour the service and sacrifice of soldiers from around the world who have fought for freedom.
