When you go home,
Tell them of us and say,
For your tomorrow
We gave our today.
The Kohima Epitaph
They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn;
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
The Exhortation
The 2019 Armistice will be on Monday 11th November. We look forward to seeing you there.
The Committee invite all ex-service personnel and all Ex-Service Associations, especially the Standards, to attend the 2019 event. Building on the huge success of the 2017 parade, which was truly amazing, this promises to be a massive parade, one of the biggest ever. We would be pleased to have as many National, County and Area Standards as possible.

The parade marches through Bedworth town centre before forming up in the Cemetery for the Armistice service; after which the parade marches along the Rye Piece Ringway where the salute is taken, wheeling left at the Pin Island to re-enter the pedestrian zone and dismisses at The Alms Houses.
