On Saturday 27 October 2018 the Breamish Valley War Memorial Project came to its planned conclusion – the dedication of the War Memorial to the 39 servicemen from the Breamish Valley who lost their lives in the two World Wars.
As part of the ongoing Breamish Valley War Memorial Project, information on three local war memorials has been added to the website. Each memorial includes the names of some of the servicemen whose names now appear on the Breamish Valley War Memorial that will be dedicated on 27 October 2018. The three local war memorials are as follows.
The dedication of the newly-installed Breamish Valley War Memorial will take place as follows.
Please come along and take time to remember the fallen service personnel from the Breamish Valley who lost their lives in the two World Wars.
Following the laying of the first foundations on 9 September 2018, the War Memorial itself was set in place on Friday 14 September 2018.
As usual, a team of willing helpers assisted.
Readers may recall that the War memorial Hole was dug on 25 August 2018 and yesterday (Saturday 9 September 2018) the first foundations were laid.
Sid Smailes (custodian of the Powburn Community Garden), Robbie Burn (Breamish Valley War Memorial Project Lead), Craig Hunter (resident) and I met in the Powburn Community Garden to mix and pour the first foundations.
The Breamish Valley War Memorial Project continues to progress with the War Memorial Hole dug on Saturday 25 August 2018 in the Powburn Community Garden.
