A surprise new Armistice Day - Remembrance Sunday Memorial to the villagers who lost their lives during the WW1 and WW2 conflicts appeared yesterday, wrapped around the Upchurch village sign.
Friends and family gathered on the corner of Horsham Lane yesterday evening, Friday the 11th of November to see the new Memorial fitted by father and son, Peter and Paul Boakes and staff from Boakes Joinery.
Each of the 39 poppies has on it one name of the deceased and the conflict in which they died.
The plaque reads:
“A TRIBUTE TO
The Brave Souls from Upchurch
That made the Ultimate Sacrifice”
In addition, a single memorial poppy to George Willson Sellen who died during The Boer War has been added to the bus shelter.
