Who are these men?
 | From the First Royal Flying Corps casualty of The Great War, the young men who fought at Jutland or the dusty hell at Gallipoli, to the many in the trenches or on other fronts.
The Battle of Britain Pilot, the Chindit, the Dambuster, the widower who died building the Mulberry Harbour, the Glider Pilot to those who died in Prisoner of War Camps or in the many small bitter actions across the world.
In times of "peace" - the young man killed in 1982.
The footballers, cricketers, delivery men, teachers, sculptors, joiners or bell ringers.
Those decorated for bravery and those whose gallantry will never be known - from the age of 16 to their late 50's, the men of Burgess Hill have given their lives for their Country and freedom.
We Will Remember Them.
The story of each man from Burgess Hill who died during World War Two, entitled "The Men of Burgess Hill 1939-46", is now available to read at the Burgess Hill RBL. A further copy is also held by the Burgess Hill History Society. |
