If you have been in the Church during November, you may
have noticed the Remembrance display, dedicated to those who fought to bring
about peace and democracy in the world. Democracy and freedom of speech may not
always bring peace, and peace does not necessarily mean democracy, so we must honour
our forebears and continue working for both.
Carbrooke Heritage Group is starting on a project to discover,
the effects of the wars (particularly WW1) on Carbrooke, as we take part in the
national centenary
commemoration of the First World War, which begins during 2014. Did the local
people get more or less, peace and democracy as a result, did it have an effect
on agriculture and industry or the population and its makeup.
We
will also try and discover more of all the Carbrooke men who took part, not
just those who died, and the effects of the war on the survivors, their
families, and the area in general. There is a list of thanks dedicated to all
of them, in the Church. If anybody would like to get involved, has information/is
a descendant or relative, please contact us.
With
Traditional Christmas festivities arranged, why not support the village groups
by going along, having fun, making new friends, and building a great community.
All
welcome to any of our group meetings.
