POCKLINGTON SCHOOL CADETS REPRESENTATIVE VISITS FRANCE
A MOVING ceremony to mark the unveiling of a new war memorial in France was attended by a representative of Pocklington School in East Yorkshire.
The event took place in Boussières-sur-Sambre, in the Nord region of France, with the memorial - the first of its kind in over 60 years dedicated to 116 Allied airmen who tragically lost their lives in the Avesnois region during the Second World War. Flight Lieutenant Dare, of Pocklington School's Combined Cadet Force (CCF), joined international dignitaries and over 80 families of fallen airmen at the unveiling.
He said: "It was an honour, a pleasure and a privilege to have been invited along." Flt Lt Dare attended alongside Harry Bartlett, chairman and secretary of the 102 (Ceylon) Squadron Association, and John Williams, also a member of the association and nephew of a fallen airman.
