Epwell commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme at 11am on 1st July, to lay a wreath of English summer flowers, and keep a minute's silence marked by the blowing of a whistle. We adjourned to the village Hall afterwards for "iron rations" - bully beef, cheese, jam sandwiches, and fruit cake, and to admire an excellent exhibition of letters, documents, maps photographs and diary/autograph book entries by soldiers of the time. Eric and Brian - thank you!
