Peace Day at Werneth Low

Dear Hydonian,

I am the Archiver and Researcher for the Hyde War Memorial Trust Registered Charity No.228670.  I enjoy looking at your site and sometimes leave comments.  I’m writing to let you know about the Peace Day Event at Werneth Low Country Park on Sunday June 30th, 1.30pm till 4pm.  With a Remembrance Ceremony taking place at the Cenotaph at 2pm, followed by a second remembrance service in the Memorial Garden by the Werneth Low Visitor Centre.  This event is done to remember and give thanks for all the people who have given their lives in conflict.  I have included a poster for the event in the attachments if you could please kindly put this in on your blog that would be great.

 

Also, as part of this event I would to invite people to bring information about their relatives who died in the First World War in preparation for the 100^th Anniversary of the start of World War One next year.  

 

For the past two years I have been researching the 710 Men of Hyde who died between 1914 and 1921, who are commemorated by the Cenotaph.  My current research is on display at Werneth Low Visitors Centre and I am in the process of creating a website to display my work online.  I would like people attending the peace day event to find out if their relatives are included in the list of 710 Men, and to share what they know about their relatives.  Helping to update our files and information in time for the 100^thAnniversary next year. If you would like to ask any questions about the event, the 710 Men of Hyde or share information I can be contacted on hwmtarchives1921@yahoo.co.uk or visit the Werneth Low Country Park, Lower Higham Visitors Centre, Higham Lane, Hyde, Cheshire, SK14 5LR.

Thank you.
