This weekend it seems very apt to share this.
In the Town Church we have this wooden cross,
it is one of the original wooden crosses from World War 1.
Later they were replaced with the headstones we are all so familiar with.
This cross belonged to Eric D'Auverge Collings,
he gave his life for his country at the age of 19 on 23rd August 1916 during the Battle of the Somme.
I wear my poppy with thanks for that great sacrifice
