MEMORIAL TO THE FALLEN

	A well attended meeting of ex-Servicemen was held in the Temperance Hall on Monday evening, Capt. J. R. Payne. M.C., being in the chair. Several forms were suggested, and it was decided ultimately to erect a stone cross, a suggested site being the corner of Mrs. Brown’s garden, opposite Mr. F. Holland’s shop in High-street. Over £40 was promised in the room, and when all the ex-servicemen have contributed, the public will be asked to make up the sum to about £200, the approximate amount required. An effort previously made did not fructify; and now the ex-Servicemen have put themselves at the head it is hoped the result will be a satisfactory and a tangible memorial to those who rendered such magnificent service to the parish and their country-particularly to those who made the supreme sacrifice.
