Fireworks As we enjoy our fireworks this year, please remember the animals who are scared by them and the people who sense bangs as war, not fun. Remembering
2014 has been the start of the Big Remember as the centenary of events leading up to the start of World War One rolled out and then, on 4 August, the day itself arrived. Since the September edition, Wendover News has carried an article entitled Wendover Remembers, which relates events which happened locally a century ago. Readers are invited to contribute any local history they know to add to our communal bank of knowledge.
As always, the Remembrance Parade will take place on the Manor Waste in Wendover at 2.30pm on Remembrance Sunday, 9 November 2014. It is always organised by the Royal British Legion and supported by military organisations, Local Government Councillors, the local uniformed youth organisations, churches and other organisations and many spectators. All very welcome.
We will remember them.
Meanwhile, Wendover is also starting to participate in a Buckinghamshire Heritage Trail. This involves any photograph you may possess taken locally during World War One. The idea is to take a contemporary photo of the same scene for comparison. If you can contribute a photo or can take part in any other way, please contact Wendover News. Anyone wishing to help with the poppy appeal please contact John Thompson 01296 582140 or email jthompson559@ hotmail.com .
