Flag and folder as village tribute

Through your columns, I would like to thank the 150-plus Angmering folk who gathered on Monday at the war memorial and later at the village hall, for the remembrance service and the village flag raising.

This marked the presentation of the illustrated folder, ‘WW1 – how it was in Angmering’, which will now be displayed in Angmering Library.

The folder will be on display and the flag will fly, daily until November 24, 2019, the centenary date of the final First World War loss of an Angmering life.

On each of the 42 personal centenary dates of an Angmering loss, I shall be privileged to lower the flag to half mast and the folder will describe a cameo of the individual(s) being honoured on that particular day.

As one of our losses was a Voluntary Aid Nurse, it was poignant that Goring actress Abigail Eames consented to raise our flag, having recently appeared in BBC First World War docu-drama The Crimson Field about VAD nurses.

I hope that the folder will be constantly rummaged through and yet more unknown facts come to light.
