War Memorials

A special selection of photographs from our Archive of the War Memorials that connect us with those who fought and perished in the conflicts that have shaped the world we live in today. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I lived in Combe Martin from 1972-77 at that time the Earl of Rhone festival had been dead for a number of years.. myself and another lady called Pamela Watts decided we would revive it... and to that end it is why it is celebrated to this day... Initially we did it without help but then slowly we recruited many helpers... forming a committee .. Pamela was Chairman and I Secretary... The first was 1973/74 and was an enormous success...
MY FAMILY HOME WAS JUST DOWN THE ROAD COME THE POST OFFICE, IT WAS HAPPY TIMES IN THE 60S AND 70S.STILL MISS COMBE MARTIN
That's the beach at Combe Martin, Sandy Cove is round the coast from there. In 1965 I was living in that building you can see in the middle of the picture. Note from Editor: Thank you for the information - we are now changing our records.
Always stayed at Wavecrest with mum and dad plus the Green family each year. Good old Mrs Mills. Always had a trip to Lee Bay on "Bills" boat. Great Memories. Is Sue Green (my age) still around?
