Byfield & District Branch

In 2018 it was one hundred years since "The Great War was Over"

Byfield & District Branch of the Royal British Legion with funding and cooperation from Byfield Parish Council, together with donations from our RBL Members, presented Byfield's Commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War and our communal "Thank You" to all those who fought for us then, and since.

 "They" say, "a picture is worth a thousand words", so rather than go-into a lengthy description of our Commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War on Sunday 11/11/18, we'll limit our story to the following short video on You Tube...

AND to two tributes, one to one of our heroes, Walter George Smith MM and the other to our own War Horse PLUS a large number of photographs in our Photo Gallery. In the videoclip, you will have seen us all gather around our War Memorial, its dedication ceremony might be of interest (make sure you click-on the words in red font).
