November 2018 - The Centenary of the end of the First World War

To mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War we are aiming to complete a number of activities as part of the project. These include:

• “Face to the Name” - we would like to find photos of the four brave men whose names are inscribed on our memorial but for whom we have no photographs. These are Driver John Slee and Private John Wilkinson from World War One and Corporal Frank Mallinson and Corporal William Carmichael Wilson from World War Two.

• Creating a “Patterdale Parish Book of Remembrance” to be placed by the war memorial with details of the lives of each of the men listed

• Installing a new artwork “John” on the site of the War Memorial

• Please click the link below for more information on these activities.
