We will remember them.

After another visit to Pinderfields. This time to the ENT department, for MrC to have his ears dewaxed. Excellent service again.
We came home and went for a walk to the pond and back.
Passing this village war memorial on the way.

Along with the names from both world wars, there is one inscription on the war memorial which for me is more poignant than the rest.
The inscription reads:

“Greater love hath no Man than this,
that a Man lay down his life for a friend.”
