A
t the Royal British Legion County Conference held at Bovington earlier this year, the guest of honour, National Chairman Mr. Terry Whittles was presented with a copy of ‘Beyond Bravery’, the story of Ferndown’s Fallen in two World Wars. The book, written by local author and RBL Dorset County Treasurer Ian Dale, gives the personal and military histories of all the servicemen of Ferndown who gave their lives in the two conflicts and their units and is an important part of the written history of the town. Ferndown Branch Chairman Grant Parrott said ‘It was an honour to welcome the National Chairman to Dorset and we wanted him to be able to take away a piece of local history to remember his visit and the part played by the people of Dorset’. 12
