Description EN

The purpose of the “Lest we forget….” series is to take a moment out of our busy lives to remember those who fell fighting for our country. This series, started by ‘Bearded Zombie’, is exclusive to Opencaching.uk

 

Situated 2.5 miles from the centre of Maidstone on the A26 Tonbridge Road at its junction with North and South Street, Barming standing on the central island. It takes the form of a stone cross mounted on an octagonal plinth with a two stepped base. It stands above the island and a section of the island itself has been cut away and steps inserted to allow access.

 

There are a further two memorials within St Margaret's Church, Barming, one for World War 1 and the other for World War 2. The names on the memorials match.

 

In order to claim this virtual cache, you have a number of options to include with your log:

  • Post a picture of you or your GPSR with the memorial in the background. You do not need to be directly in front of the memorial to take this picture.

  • Post a picture of part of the memorial that you find interesting (for example, a relief or part of a sculpture).

  • Pick a name on the memorial, research and share information about the person or their life (after all, this series is all about making sure these people and the lives they lived are not forgotten). Extra kudos & respect for this, but unfortunately no extra points!

 

It shouldn’t need reminding, but please be respectful while claiming this virtual cache and take a moment to remember those who are named on the memorial.

 

If you wish to extend this series, please contact the CO, Bearded Zombie.
