Subject: Shared Freedom - Shared Future

A member of the Armed Forces Covenant attended a remembrance ceremony yesterday in Leominster Cemetery at the graves of 7 Polish soldiers who died in the late 1940’s at a resettlement camp located in a former military hospital at Barons Cross. The ceremony was attended by the Mayor of Leominster, councillors and members of the Polish community and flowers were laid on each grave

Afterwards he was introduced to Katie Horne , email above , a teacher from Whitecross Academy who has obtained a £50k Lottery Grant to make a film entitled Shared Freedom-Shared Future about the contribution made by Poles here in particular their soldiers and airmen. She would like to talk to any veterans or their families in the County who would have memories of the Second World War and subsequently.

If you have any contacts or know of anyone who can help Katie please could you get in touch with her
