A Fitting Tribute.........

The Little Bromley War Memorial

Please see after the ad. below.







Little Bromley is, as its name implies a small settlement in North Essex, so far north it is nearly in Suffolk, so it can be included in this blog post!

At a junction in the main road that passes through the village is a typical triangular piece of land, no more than 10 yards long on each side, that divides the traffic joining the main road, filtering some north and some south.

Almost the entire area of this "island" is taken up by the war memorial. The local community realised that the memorial was beginning to look a little worse for wear and even neglected. They decided to do something about it, and the link below tells the story of how they began to raise the money to once again return the memorial to its former glory.

Raising Money for the refurbishment

Imperial War Museum has a record for this memorial here.





Today, on the 4 August, I felt it was appropriate to share what has become a most fitting way of remembering the fallen of Little Bromley in the Great War, exactly one hundred years after the start of the conflict.

The photographs I have taken today, and are shown below, show just what a good example the residents of this community have set for others to follow.
