It was a deeply moving moment as Ryde Sea Cadets, alongside the Army and Air Cadets, stood united to represent His Majesty's Armed Forces at the Presentation of the Book of Remembrance. This special book is dedicated to the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
This heartfelt initiative stemmed from a promise made to Gordon White, a cherished member of the Royal British Legion, who envisioned a Book of Remembrance but lacked the means to realize it. Thanks to Mr. Taylor's dedication, that promise has been fulfilled. Today, we honor Mr. White's legacy as his daughter accepted the book on his behalf.
With solemn reverence, the Book of Remembrance was entrusted to the Mayor by Ryde Town Council, serving as a poignant reminder of those who have gone before us. Let us never forget the valor and sacrifice of these individuals, as we continue to honor their memories in all acts of remembrance.
