Remembrance
Every year in November, our community gathers to remember before God those who have died for their country in the two world wars and the many conflicts of the years that have followed.
The names of the fallen are inscribed on the Town War Memorial outside St Peter’s Church, and also on a wall monument inside the church. Many who fell lie buried abroad, but those who died at home as a result of war are commemorated on the Garden of Remembrance War Memorial in Rectory Lane Cemetery. Outside the town, the Inns of Court War Memorial honours the trainees who passed through Berkhamsted in 1916-18.
- Armistice Day is on 11 November, marking the end of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I in 1918. If it does not fall on a Sunday, it is usually marked by a short ceremony at the Town War Memorial at 11am.
- Remembrance Sunday is the closest Sunday to Armistice Day. The day is usually marked with a parade led by the Royal British Legion, followed by a civic service in St Peter’s Church.
