We were delighted to be part of Evenwood and Ramshaw’s Commemoration of the Armistice Centenary this year.
The children were very proud to parade with pipers from the SSAFA to the memorial stone in Evenwood. There, using special model rifles created by Mr. Peter Marshall, our retired caretaker, the children went through several drills with rifles, taught to them by Reverend Brian, of St. Paul’s Church, Evenwood. The children sloped arms, shouldered arms and grounded arms and as they did so, vowed to find a better way to resolve differences between nations.
We were delighted to hear that ex-serviceman in attendance had been very impressed and very touched by the children’s performance. ‘They did their village proud’, it was reported.
