New Romney, War Memorials
Posted in Trips, War Memorials at 20:30 on 18 November 2020
The commemoration of the dead of New Romney in the two World Wars I subsequently discovered is on brass plaques within St Nicholas’s Church (see previous post.)
However what may be a recently laid memorial garden, probably for the 100<sup<th anniversary of the Great War, lies opposite the church.
This contains a stone slab with an attached metal panel inscribed with the familiar fourth verse of the poem “For the Fallen.”
Another stone is dedicated to the Burma Star Association Romney Marsh Branch and is inscribed with the Kohima Epitaph, ‘When you go home, tell them of us and say, For your tomorrow, we gave our today.’
There is also a “Ghost Soldier” seen here before a bed of poppies and remembrance crosses:-
Another memorial bears a plaque saying, “Candle of Remembrance.” Click to enlarge and see inscription:-
