  • War Memorials in Basildon Borough Booklet
    War Memorials In Basildon Borough Foreword War Memorials serve as a physical reminder of the sacrifice of those who fought for their country in conflicts throughout history. This booklet is designed to raise awareness of different memorial sites which provide a link to the past and method of remembrance in the Basildon Borough. This booklet provides a guide to the borough’s war memorials including locations, photographs, the design and materials used and information on who initiated and funded them. Remembering those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom and providing loved ones with somewhere they can pay tribute to the fallen is not just important in the present. We must continue to preserve these sites for future generations so they too can learn about the darkest of times in our history and the sacrifices made by those who did not live to see the freedom we enjoy today. Cllr Kevin Blake Deputy Leader and cabinet member for leisure and arts at Basildon Council, Basildon Borough Council 2014 Introduction In addition to those mentioned in this booklet, there are many more Memorials around the Borough from both World Wars to be found in Churches as Rolls of Honours, Plaques and Memorial stones either inside the Churches, on the outside walls or in the grave yards. There are also Memorial Halls around the Borough which were built as memorials to the local fallen, these were an alternative to stone memorials as they could be used by the community to make friends and to hold celebrations. Plaques and names can usually be found within the Memorial Hall buildings.
