July 14th sees the 100th anniversary of the unveiling of the Honiton War Memorial, and the community is planning to come together to mark this important and poignant occasion.
The memorial was built in 1921 and paid for by public subscription. It is inscribed with the names of 66 local men who were killed during the Great War.
Later research has suggested that as many as 77 other men born locally, or who lived in the area, may also have died, but whose names are not recorded on the monument. Many of these brave men were remembered during a series of vigils held at the War Memorial between 2014 and the end of 2018, on the centenary of their deaths.
