WW1 Family Inscriptions

Across the UK in cemeteries lay forgotten family inscriptions to those who fell in #WW1. They are listed here in memory to those who died for our today.

At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month – we will remember them.

@AStreetNearYou @bostonwayne @Britwarmemorial @CWGC It's hard to tell from the diagram. Though the length of the cemetery look big you can walk the length in less than 10 mins. The CWGC cross is by the gate that leads to the monorail, the uni hall of residence and the arboretum.

@bostonwayne @AStreetNearYou I can't tell from the map, sorry. But I know the war memorial is just off the road where the tram goes by, literally one stop of the uni hall of residence. Hope this helps.

@bostonwayne @AStreetNearYou Also, if you've time visit General Cemetery (other side or town). Very sad cemetery, full of CWCG headstone, as there was a local war hospital. Many suffered & died years after the war had ended.

[WW1 Family Inscriptions @InscriptionsWw1]

@bostonwayne @AStreetNearYou Church Rock Cemetery is an amazing place, loads of stunning memorials. You will discover loads there as I did. BTW check for when they open the catacombs, definitely worth a visit.

[Alex Phillips @ThatAlexWoman]

I love India. I used to live in India. I want to trade with India.

But what should have been a massive 'win' has been marred by the fact that NI exemption for Indian workers, when British employees see the same tax hiked, means it will be far cheaper to hire foreign staff than provide jobs to our own

And that is just plain wrong. In fact, it's a disgrace.
