MADAM, Can we, through your columns, express our sincere thanks to the Royal British Legion and to Ross Rural Parish Council for providing and laying wreaths at the Greytree memorial to commemorate Armistice Day?
Particularly, we would like to thank Wilf and Carol Hailes, who tend to the site throughout the year, planting seasonal flowers to reflect and highlight the importance of this little bit of Ross and Greytree heritage and history. It is one of the very few privately owned and maintained First World War Memorials on public display, and is noted as such in the Imperial War Museum in London. It is also an interesting record of the role played by local families such as Verschoyle, whose names are also recorded elsewhere in the town.
John and Irene White, Ro
