Plans for the Cuckfield community to join the rest of the nation in this commemoration are well advanced and you will see our own ‘TOMMY’ (pictured) as you journey around. A beacon will be lit on Whitemans Green on Sunday 11th November 2018 at 7pm, and full details will be provided in a Commemorative Programme of events that will be delivered with our next magazine. This will include the map of our Memorial Walk which will detail 35 locations where some of the 81 men who gave their lives lived.

Other November events to help us to come together to remember will be a dramatisation of Letters & Poems From the Front (1st and 3rd), a screening of the all important, original film All Quiet on The Western Front (2nd), The Royal British Legion Women’s Section Poppy Appeal Morning (Sat 3rd), a Community Concert (Sat 10th November 2018) and a Tea Dance (Sunday 11th). Tickets will be available for all of these events with details of how to apply in the Programme – look out for it
