Armistice Day at the hospital

Join us to mark Armistice Day at the hospital which is a memorial to local men who gave their lives serving their country.
A short service will be held at the memorial stone outside the reception door at 11am on Friday November 11. 
Hospital Friends will lay a wreath alongside the Royal British Legion, whose standard bearer will also be present along with a member of the clergy and a bugler. Staff also attend, and any patients well enough, but members of the public are also welcome.
Our hospital was built just after the First World War and opened in 1921 in honour of the 99 servicemen from the town and another 80 from surrounding villages who died in the conflict.
Armistice Day is a chance to salute them, and any other loved ones who served.
