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
The memorial in Pembury, beside the church, is a large cenotaph with a Celtic cross carved on the face and a rectangular plaque below with the names. The whole memorial is set on a shallow plinth and four steps. On the plinth is a plaque with WW2 names. It was unveiled in 1921.
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.
