Friends of Darwen Cemetery
It is my
pleasure to invite you to the unveiling of this very special Memorial on Sunday 1st July 2018 at 3pm (assembling at the Cemetery from 2.30pm)
which appropriately coincides with the anniversary of the first day of the
Battle of the Somme.
The Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire, The Lord Shuttleworth KG KCVO, will officially unveil the Memorial.
Organised, designed and planned by the Friends of Darwen Cemetery, the
Memorial is a fitting tribute to the 1300 fatal casualties from Darwen of
which 70 + are buried in Commonwealth War Graves in Darwen Western
Cemetery.
The Memorial has been designed to include ten black granite plaques which tell the story of the men and woman who served their Country during the conflict, mounted on a wall designed to resemble the inner face of a
typical
trench. Many sponsors and supporters
have made donations and a special Centenary book is being published giving
details of these who died.
The unique Memorial is perhaps the only new WW1 Memorial in the Blackburn
with Darwen area, if not Lancashire, that depicts the impact of the
loss.
The President of The Friends Of Darwen Cemetery, retired Colonel Steve Davies MBE,
who commanded 1st Battalion The Queens Lancashire Regiment, and was also
born in Darwen at 13 Willow Street, said:
“I am very proud to have played a part in organising this fitting tribute
by the Friends of Darwen Cemetery and would wish to recognise the many
offers, donations and support we have received. It has been a team effort
to reach this point, and I am proud of the way in which the Trustees of
our organisation have collectively delivered this project alongside many
other partners, including many Darwen schoolchildren. As an Army Veteran
and proud Darrener this Memorial does us proud in remembering the large
sacrifice made by the people of Darwen over 100 years ago."
John East Chair, Friends Of Darwen Cemetery.
