The Sunday Post · 8th November 1953
Dobcross, Saddleworth.
Sunday, 8th November 1953.
Barometer 29.9. Grey and still, and the smoke from every chimney in the village going straight up, and then not seeming to know what to do.
No news this week, and no puzzle. It is Remembrance Sunday. The bell at Holy Trinity at a quarter to eleven, the names read from the board, and at eleven the two minutes.
Below are the names from our end of the parish, as they stand on the plaques up on Pots and Pans: Dobcross and Diggle, and Delph over the hill. The first list is long, for three small villages, and it is mostly the same names that are still over the shop doors and in the chapel registers. The second list is shorter, and there are people in the village who were at school with the men on it.
I shall not add anything to them. Father says the men on the board did not want remembering so much as finishing what they had started.
The answers to the last crossword are at the foot, for anyone who finished it, and for anyone who did not.
