He was the Standard Bearer. Last Rembrance Sunday, my son, grand son and I visited the Cross. It was sad to see no poppies there. We laid a wooden poppy cross observed the two miniets silence and left. Are there any records of the 1921 service and when were services at the Cross halted. I beleve there is a plaque in the church which the Cross refures to. Many thanks, Tony Baxter Dear Sir or Madam

This 'super-gentrification has seen an influx of the super-wealthy Oxbridge educated financial class since the liberalisation of financial markets in the mid-1990's and is comparable globally to only to Brooklyn Heights in New York, USA.
