Remembering the fallen at Tofield’s November 11 services

As happened all over the country on November 11, the people of Tofield and area stopped to remember and honour those who lost their lives in the defence of their country.

Tofield Legion No. 91 Colour Party marched in the colours. At 11 a.m. “The Last Post/Lament” rang through the hall, followed by two minutes of reverent silence by all present.
