- At my Cenotaph tomorrow
|

One of my many dear old friends from Goldings has reminded me of the sacrifice paid by Goldings Boys and Staff who gave their lives in conflicts around the world for their country.
And as he says we should pay our respect to this fact, so Tony Angell has had a wreath made and will be at Waterford Cenotaph tomorrow at 11'o' clock to present the wreath on our behalf. Can I just remind every one that when we became the new residents to Goldings a wreath was laid at Hertford’s Cenotaph in 1922 for the same reasons and included the many Barnardo boys and girls along with Staff who also paid the supreme sacrifice, not forgetting the Canadians, Australians, and Barnardo children around the world who gave the same sacrifice.
So just for a moment, pause to remember.
Well-done Tony Angell on all of our behalf
Footnote- Mr Battell, a very popular member of staff was killed by the clock tower in the early part of the Second World War as he made his way to the main house to make sure the boys were safe in a bombing raid, and is buried in Waterford Church.

Dave, thanks for the Birthday wishes, I had to be born on the forth to enable testing for burning on the bonfire. Sadly was too green then, and still am!
Had a great day doing absolutely nothing.
Life begins at 61 so watch out for fireworks in the coming months, leading to our next Reunion.
Marina has her place in the 2010 London Marathon, so start getting your loose change ready.
Catch you all again soon.
Woody.
