This year, as in previous years, the Trust has made a donation to The Royal British Legion and arranged for a cross, dedicated to the 48 Cobbolds who died in two World Wars, to be planted in the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey. The dedication expresses the Trust’s gratitude and the cross will be in plot No. 277.
The Field of Remembrance is in the grounds of Westminster Abbey at Parliament Square and will be officially opened at 11am on Thursday 8th November. Public access is from 12 noon that day and thereafter daily 9am to 4pm until Sunday 18th November.
The names and details of the 48 Cobbolds are shown, courtesy of the Debt of Honour Register of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, on this website at ‘King and Country’ and the Trust will again place an ‘In Memoriam’ announcement in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday 10th November this year.
