Here is another piece from Irena White on the Peace Celebrations in
Ruyton XI Towns after WWI.
Although the end of the war was on the 11th day of the 11th Month of
1918, it was not until the Treaty of Versailles was signed on 28th June
1919 that the war could be said to be officially over. Hence the dates
on our own War Memorial are 1914-1919.
This piece comemorates the celebrations.
It was not unusual for communities to `invent` a war memorial before the
official one had been designed, constructed and dedicated, and our
village cross was the obvious site to place your flowers and messages.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
