Last year, avid readers of the Captain's Blog may recall, the Hawthorne Memorial Day was canceled due to the threat of rain. This year, fortunately, the weather was clear and pleasant with great numbers turning out for the occasion, both in marchers and spectators. The Royal Sussex Society once again opened the invitation to other Allied representations to make up the World War One historical contingent. With two British Tommies, two American Doughboys, our British Red Cross VAD, and our civilian volunteer, we had a fine showing of smart marching through the borough of Hawthorne as we paid tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of the nation.
