Upcoming event: AJEX

The following event is coming up. Please pass details on to anyone who may be interested. The flyer says the following:

Seven Jewish Canadian Airmer will be remembered at Stonefall Airmen's Cemetery, Harrogate, on Sunday 14th September when AJEX participates in the Royal Air Force ceremony to honour the memories of those lost during the last war. Our AJEX Chaplain Rev. Anthony Gilbert will take part in the colourful ceremony in the presence of the Mayor of Harrogate and military senior officers will lay wreaths flanked by many Standards and a Military Band.

Leeds AJEX will lay a wreath and the standard of the Leeds Major Clive Behrens branch of the Royal British Legion will be present.

This annual event is supported by AJEX as the 7 Jewish Airmen have no known relatives able to visit, so afterwards we visit each grave to say Kaddish and dip the two Jewish standards in their honour.

If you want to attend bare in mind the following information. A convoy of cars will leave the car park behind Moortown Casiono at 1.30 p.m. Medals should be worn. You are more than welcome whether you are ex-servicemen or not. If you want more information contact Wilf Jackson on 0113 2934012
