Never Forgotten!
As part of the wider Not Forgotten project of WW1 commemorative
events, we hosted a performance of The Unknown Soldier by MOD
Productions and in partnership with Westminster Archives. Over 100
children from local primary schools attended alongside members &
service users, as well as Lord Ahmed & the former Deputy Lord
Mayor, Miss Frances Blois. Both poignant & humorous, the interactive
play told short stories of the horrors of war and the devastating effect
it has on both the soldiers and their families left behind.
