Cascade is a WWI tribute

-

A POIGNANT school Remembranc­e project has seen a ‘waterfall’ of poppies cascading from a church memorial.

The striking installati­on was produced by Chris Hollis and Year 6 pupils from Edenfield CE Primary and displays the names of Edenfield’s fallen soldiers.

Headteache­r Charlotte Garner said they have focused on the history of local residents who fought and gave their lives during the wars. She said: “The children quite literally walk in the footsteps of these young men who attended this school, in the very same building, over a hundred years ago.”

The soldiers’ descendant­s attend a special Service of Remembranc­e every year.
