Monday, 21st July, is Belgiums National Day. It has become a branch tradition to mark this occasion with events at the graveside of Great War Belgian soldiers who rest in our fine county. We will meet at 10.45 for 11.00 at Cambridge City Cemetery, Newmarket, in the Ditton Lane car park before paying our respects at the Great War General Service Plot. From there we will move to Histon Cemetery.
The Belgian Embassy in London, The Last Post Assn in Ypres, Talbot House in Poperinge and others both at home and in Belgium have recognised this event.
It is also worth mentioning that one of our branch members is a descendent of Belgian Great War refugees and a Belgian Great War soldier.
Look forward to seeing a few of you there.
