And Pete to come and look at variance in particular with the exhibition side of again I was in my local charge last not to mention the Sunday on you just have to stop and your vet for far longer than you thought you would be just really really always and learning what these people went 3 I know I think a lot of people don't realize the huge number of people who stationed in 3 said so from going from a town of 4000 people though 25000 people turned World War One which was swallowed by the Canadian Forces and West Indian forces as well which were here in the town so you can come along and see photos of that and I know a couple of Britain or a couple of residents involved in this specifically hard grandfathers who were involved in the war yeah Gary and Chris has got some interest in history artifacts from my grandfather's and I got photos of them and one of them was something called ready the Lao The law is a group of. Slightly people and. This was particularly poignant because it they called it the day suffix died when not battalion went to fight because then they do a kilt. And he sank you thank you so much for coming on to tell us about this when this was happening in the from this morning that's ahead next the water in a hay field is a fascinating display in a local church morphing gray Mackenzie from the water and crossing whomp our spouse was stolen from as it seems for now where he joins us on the My good morning to you hello I'm Amara to thank you so much for coming on for the program is one of yes what's happening is that all these oh well we started for this just to do 3 things in the chalet we have here but not here soldier who is sitting in the front pew of on Memorial Chapel and then I was asked could I try and bring them to life so I've done a little bit to try and bring a bit of information about one of the names on the memorial a gentleman called Henry and it is a heat as he was correctly cold. We then have another display all about the casualty clearing stations because we have a member of our congregations called father was a surgeon in the 1st world war and that has actually created something that is still ongoing called the traveling surgical society so that still something positive came out of the 1st World War Yes And then I've also done a little bit about the newfound regiment. With the bone mile a mile of moral gulden which is very moving and has sudden residents with us because that was Scottish English soldiers that alongside the new found platoon boys because a new found the regiment was the only regiment that actually was upgraded to legal status after the war because the royal new from the regiment and one of the 1st going on. On the 1st day of the battle of the Sultan for example $801.00 you found was on so the Cole which is the technical phrase of Saigon here to to do what I got to do and on the 2nd of July the ready 68 it's things like that that really sort of tug on the heart I think it just stopped as an image. What did you learn about bond as a junior was to earn a Bernard was was a young lad died at the age of 19 on the May the bustle of viruses that has with the death of the skull possibly one of the. Actions in the back of the virus from. The 6 9th of May through to the 16th of May 6th night isn't of a foot or the 16th of May call me. And he must have been very young I would have thought that he could have only been in frogs for a matter of 2 months at the most if he was doing what was correct because conscription came in 191618 year olds but they wouldn't or couldn't have been sent overseas until over 19 and he was born in $90.98 so $89.00 and he would only have been 19 at the beginning of that. We actually have. His He's actually in the memorial they are a small bore of a missing persons he was double found. He was one of $7371.00 allied soldiers that died that day and when you bear in mind that the population the whole trip which in those days was Waldron cross in hand and Horan road which is down for him which a lot of people will not know how to population of about 2100 so you know 3 times that number died in just one day and not. One of the big battle of the night and it's still all these years on and no matter how many times you hear it it's still shocking to actually think and think about the charges I prophesy over the next coming days or people coming it's going to go daylight hours right away so I'm going to keep the moral going until. Wednesday and we've also got our photographic exhibition which you had going of mock photographs so you got a real juxtaposition of what I would describe as the darkness of war and the brightness of today's life so you've got you can move from one side of the church to the other Thank you so much thank you Graham thank you Thomas why Graham McKenzie there with what's happening over in water before that we're talking to Nick your stuff from Seaforth as I mentioned there are events across towns and villages right across the whole of Sussex if we haven't yet so it's about yours do not mean I wait 102321045 reflected on the front of many of the papers this morning the I the weekend edition with some poppies on the front of there that cover today they shall grow not old a century after the guns fall silent while world stops to remember them and this is the front of the Daily Mirror today at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. Was. Running cool for a time one day I'll Fly Away 26 minutes past 8 so windy and brightens as much as you please mention to listeners that on Sunday tomorrow at 2 o'clock there is a reading of wall it is written by members of the congregation of enunciation shots in Boston who want to support the efforts in World War one of these will only fuck men and women whose experiences are recorded in these letters not all of them came back it's interesting and emotional we had local people in the heart of the area or come in said the history of former residents in the area as a sign of a traffic example many. Thank you but I mean now the traffic example all of way the way that communities have come together to remember the efforts the people went to of course say you know we know Remembrance Sunday is about remembering all people in all conflicts who have lost their lives but particularly with this out of poignancy of the sin scenery of the end of World War one thank you for getting in such a hit from some to this morning I would assume at the great works of Sussex in the last hour the program songs are moving Thank you for your messages I'd love to get a copy of the book I call gets the venue's mentioned is it available by post I believe it probably is if you get in touch with us we'll put you directly in touch with the Office of Sandra thank you for getting in touch with us this morning now we had state side next in Officials in North kind of for news at least 9 people have now been killed by the most destructive wildlife in the state's history all of the victims were found in and around the town of powerlessness Sacramento further south to the west of Los Angeles thousands of people been forcibly volumes as high winds pushed a blaze towards the towns of Mama boo and 1006 with the latest now let's hear from Cole Joy who is the editor of the 1000 Oaks a comb weekly newspaper What are the winds have started build those those howling winds that have really driven this fire has started to feed a little bit of the fires are the firefighters are making up some ground they're still reporting 0 percent containment but here in 1000 Oaks things are a little bit more quiet still much of the city is evacuated 75 percent in fact of a city of $130000.00 people so most an entire city of itself have been evacuated so it's quiet like that I think people are paying a little bit better but the fire is still raging in different areas of the San Fernando Valley as well as in Malibu so still ever present but we seem to be getting a little bit of a reprieve right now which the city badly badly needed all of the firefighters are getting a lot of help from the area but they've basically been told you know no more help from other parts of the state so we're talking about bringing in help even from out of state but right now I think they are. You know that had approached to do as much as they can and it was it was it was so overwhelming that firefighters couldn't spend a lot of time on each house they did a little bit trying to save what they could and then they had to move on so I think they're getting a little bit better grip on the fire but again when the winds are 4050 mph and there's so much fuel in the ground an increase in a green city like 1000 Oaks I mean there's just the odds are just stacked against them so we're going to see a lot of structures damaged we don't know exactly how many yet but I'm really worried the numbers are going to be quite large when they when they finally do announce it sounds time to find isn't it cold joy that it's of the 1000 Oaks weekly newspaper 29 minutes past 8 headlines sports weather and travel all know why you know my mother said you heard. This Saturday on the rewind at 9 we were turning to the. Back with a bang. Can you guess the then I'm talking to Rufus Hound who wanted to
