Holmer Green’s World War One heroes were remembered in France and Flanders by members of the village’s Royal British Legion branch.

A group from the Holmer Green and District branch of the Royal British Legion visited the graves and memorials of 12 of the village’s men who fell there.

Branch Chairman Chris Peers laid wreaths and gave a speech in remembrance and tribute, while Legion Standard Bearers Gordon Howland and Pete Rolt presented flags.

The team also paraded the standards and laid a wreath during the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate in Ypres - the 30,240th time it had been held since 1928.

The trip abroad, which was photographed by local historian Stuart King, is part of a wider project to research and publish a book that commemorates the village’s WWI heroes, stage an exhibition in the Village Centre to showcase the project’s findings and to hold memorial ceremonies on the centenary of each man's death.

The project is being run entirely by unpaid volunteers from the community including staff and students from Holmer Green Senior School and is supported by a funding grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The project team are looking for more information, photos and memorabilia for any of the village's men who fought in the Great War whether they fell or came home again - if you have anything to share, email holmergreenheroes@btinternet.com.
