AJEX ON PARADE TO HONOUR CANDIAN JEWISH AIRMEN
Seven Jewish Canadian Airmen will be remembered at Stonefall Airmen’s Cemetery, Harrogate, on Sunday 13th September when AJEX participates in the Royal Air Force ceremony to honour the memories of those lost during the last war.
At the colourful ceremony in the presence of the Mayor of Harrogate, 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. We remember them because they gave their lives for us.
A convoy of cars will leave the car park behind Moortown Casino at 1.45 pm. If making your own way, please be there for 2.30pm.
Medals should be worn. Please join us whether you are ex-service or not.
