On Wednesday 11th November, Ecclesbourne’s House Captains were invited to represent our school at Whitehorse Manor Junior School’s Remembrance service. Mrs Sullivan, who accompanied the children, said it was a touching service, beautifully done, and we are proud of our House Captains for representing us brilliantly. The House Captains laid the wreaths on the memorial with the black wreath honoring the service of Black, African and Caribbean soldiers who have fought in global conflicts.
Whitehorse Manor’s war memorial is dedicated to 117 ‘old scholars’ of Whitehorse who gave their lives during the Great War of 1914-1918. Every year on remembrance day we hold a memorial service to remember these young men and other brave men and women who served and died in wars so that future generations could live in peace.
