Remembrance Day crosses
by Margaret Brook
Some 90 Horbury men died in World War I, 42 in World War II and 1 in the Malayan Conflict (1948-1960). We we continue to remember their sacrifice. This relatively small war memorial is sited in Sparrow Park, now renamed Horbury Memorial Park, next to the town hall. There is also a memorial to the four Horbury Bridge men killed in World War II in Reid Park, Horbury Bridge. The 29 Horbury men who served in the Boer War are commemorated on a brass plaque in the town hall. The remembrance crosses sewn by Margaret Brook.
