2020 is the 100th Anniversary of the repatriation and burial of The Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey

Submitted by alaws on 5 November, 2020 - 11:15

The grave of the Unknown Warrior lies at the west end of the Nave of Westminster Abbey in London. It symbolises all those who died during the Great War whose body or grave could not be identified and may be from any of the three services, Army, Navy or Air Force, and from any part of the British Isles, Dominions or Colonies and represents all those who died who have no other memorial or known grave. The face of the Unknown Warrior will rightly never be known. He represents the son of every mother, the husband of every wife, the brother of every sister. A permanent memorial for all those who fell during the Great War of 1914-1918.

We made two significant decisions at our monthly engineering team meeting at West Shed on October 1^st (the reason this bulletin is a little later than usual).

Branded reusable Face Masks Now Available

Submitted by NKinsey on 14 September, 2020 - 08:10

Just this morning I read that disposable face masks are creating a big waste plastic problem. Now is the time to consider using reusable masks as the current situation looks like being with us long term.

LMS-Patriot Project branded masks are now available in our web shop as single or packs of three.

Look in 'The Unknown Warrior Branded Items' for details.

Thank you and stay safe.
