remembrance day photos
After an unpromising start the weather turned really nice for the remembrance day events on Houghton Regis Green.
The turn out was tremendous - lots of support. Even got featured on the Anglia news in the evening !! This year the community really got involved with the 100 year anniversary of the end of the 'Great War'. The library concourse was resplendent with the theme and the 'drumhead' reconstruction survived the transfer onto the Green for the Sunday.

Bertie Crew
Bertie
Crew of the Bedfordshire Regiment actually died in 1919 whilst serving
in the 'Labour Corps' which was manned by soldiers not rated 'A1'.
These were often those who had been previously injured on the
battlefied. So it would appear the Bertie did actualy experience
Armistice Day.
He was buried in the Chapel yard of Houghton Regis
Baptist Church along with Gilbert Horsler and Thomas King.
