Silent Soldier

The Royal British Legion is rolling out the “Silent Soldier” concept which marks the sacrifice of those who fell in the four war years leading up to the Armistice in November 1918. Commemorative events will be held across the United Kingdom during 2018, 100 years after the end of the First World War.
Silent Soldiers will appear across Leicestershire as we commemorate the end of WW1. They will appear on buildings, and in gardens, fields, on roundabouts and many other places. The Parish Council has agreed to make a donation to the Royal British Legion and is now displaying one on the Library wall in the Village centre
