Wake Up Aspenden
Dear Sir,
"Lest we Forget" is the motto for November 11th. Is it possible that the men from Aspenden who lost their lives in the War are forgotten?
The Aspenden War Memorial was subscribed to by (I think I may say) every person in the village, and the day of the unveiling nearly every person in the village was present.
Yet on Armistice Day, 1926, the memorial and the men whose names are inscribed thereon appear to be forgotten, except by less than a dozen people who attended the service held on that day. Is it because there is a more spectacular service elsewhere, or is there a little ill feeling?
Whatever the cause, our memorial is still there was the names of 21 heroes, some whose names are on no other memorials. They did their bit - let the people of Aspenden do likewise.
Yours respectfully,
J.C. Neale.
School House, Aspenden, 17th Nov., 1926.
