Tallis Remembers Friday 10th November 2023
At Tallis we observe Remembrance Day as an opportunity to think hard about what is being remembered, who is being remembered and why it is being remembered.
Each year at Tallis on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we observe a two minute silence. Armistice Day on 11 November marks the end of the First World War and is a day to remember those whose lives have been impacted on by that conflict and conflicts since. We try to put a focus on remembering the contributions of groups whose stories can often be neglected, pushed aside and sometimes totally forgotten. This Remembrance Day 11th November 2023 (in addition to acknowledging the role of monarchy, military and government in remembrance in the mainstream media) we are asking our community to think about the significance of those who gave public service and with a focus on the Windrush generation and their descendants. Over 15,000 Caribbeans fought in the West Indies Regiment in the First World War, and 16,000 in the Second World War most in the Royal Air Force.
