“November 11 is the day is which we remember the sacrifices of those who served in the two world wars last century and the other conflicts that have taken place since then,” said the Chairman of Wealden District Council, Councillor Mrs Pat Kennedy. “This August I had the honour of meeting and talking to service men and women who took part in the Second World War at the Wealden VE VJ Day Commemoration. It served to emphasise the debt we owe to those who never came back.”
