Moths remember the fallen

MBOMBELA - The Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) Legogotu Shellhole held its Shadow Parade, as it does every year, in memory and honour of those who fought bravely and died during WWI,

104 years ago on Friday.

Remembrance Sunday, also known as Poppy Day, is held annually on the second Sunday in November, closest to Armistice Day, which marked the ceasefire that put an end to all hostilities of WWI at 11:00 on November 11, 1918.

The parade was well supported, with several civilians and members of both the MOTH Motorcycle Association and the Moths in attendance.

The Stevenson-Hamilton Pipe Band was there to honour the fallen, playing the pipes and drums as the Moths laid down wreaths.
