TEAN BRANCH - REMEMBERING THE
RECENT FALLEN
On
Remembrance Sunday, 2006, members of the Tean Branch of the
Royal British Legion were joined by uniformed youth groups
and the public at the War Memorial in the Church Yard, where
the homage and silence were observed. They then moved into
the Parish church for a service of Remembrance led by the
Branch and County Chaplain, and addressed by the Parish
Reader, Mr. Keith Perrin.
Mr. Perrin had set up in the Church a new memorial – which
carries (in a frame) the names of all those members of Her
Majesty’s armed forces killed in the present conflicts in
Iraq and Afghanistan. Over a hundred and fifty names
appeared on the roll, and new names will be added if and
when necessary. Thanksgiving was made for those who had paid
the supreme sacrifice, and prayer was said for those still
serving in these war zones.
