Lest We Forget
Manage episode 279013636 series 1681089
It was in the early predawn that Pilot Officer Richard Pryce Hughes crashed his aircraft on the heathland a little less than 500 yards from where I live. That was 78 years ago and I was yet to be born and where my house is was still a pine covered heathland. A marker has been erected to show the location of the crash and as we approach the 11th of the 11th my wife or I place a cross on the small monument in remembrance, lest we forget.
Each year as we approach the 11th of the 11th my wife or I place a cross on the marker in remembrance… lest we forget.
