Share our Memory Service Celebrating those who served in the 'Forgotten Army'

LIGHT a CANDLE to remember and celebrate the official end of World War 2. At 15:00 on Saturday 16th August Churches Together will lead a memorial event to the 'Forgotten Army'. Deputy Mayor Tricia O'Brien will read a poem by local artist Chris Sanders.

An estimated 30000 British troops lost their lives in the Far East Theatre of War. We know that 7 men from Chard are buried in distant lands.

Bring and light your own candle of remembrance. The Museum will provide candles for everyone to share if you do not have your own. A donation to the memory of the 'Forgotten Army' would be appreciated.

There will be a Remembrance card for

everyone who joins us at the event to take away.
