Honour for those who never went home


A SPECIAL service for the Fallen took place at Calderstones as part of the annual Remem­ brance Day ceremonies. The service was held a t the chapel a t


Calderstones and was attended by deputy Ribble Valley Mayor Coun. Charles Wark- man, accompanied by his wife, Ruth, the deputy Mayoress. They joined representatives and Colour


Guards of the local Royal British Legion groups to pay their respects at a place which differs somewhat from other memorial loca­ tions, as Calderstones has its own military cemetery. The hospital was filled with injured soldiers


during the First World War and took conva­ lescent Servicemen during the Second World War. Those who died from their wounds while at


the hospital were buried nearby, in a cemetery which is similar to those across the world in which British and Commonwealth Service­ men lie. Pictured left are dignitaries and RBL mem­ bers at Calderstones. (A011103/1)
