War Memorial Relocation – Lorna’s Fundraising Journey
Lorna Williams has cycled to work and socially most of her adult life. Now she
is organising a fundraising cycle trip to five of the WW1 graves in Belgium,
where our young soldiers are buried.
In April 2025, when the daffodils are in their glory, she will set off from the
Staunton on Wye War Memorial for a 300-mile ride. The village of Dymock will
be her first stop, where the Dymock poets wrote their WW1 literary works.
Then on to Reading, down to Dover, over to France and finally Belgium. She
plans to visit each of our soldiers graves in Etaples ( France ), Tyne Cot
Cemetery, Mendighem, , Ploegsteert and Vlamertinghe ( Belgium ). Plus
attend the Last Post at the Menin Gate.
All donations given for Lorna’s bike ride will go towards expenses to relocate
our village War Memorial. Fundraising to begin in January 2025.
