Barr Beacon School’s CCF contingent @ccfcadets @aircadets and Head Students joined veterans, representatives of local government @WalsallCouncil @morton_wendy and members of the local community to lay a wreath at the historic Barr Beacon War Memorial. The War Memorial at Barr Beacon Local Nature Reserve, the highest point in the West Midlands, was built in 1933 to honour those who fell during WW1.

Barr Beacon School’s CCF contingent lead a parade to remember the fallen, together with staff and pupils. Pupils have been learning about ‘remembrance’ all week during assemblies which have featured members of the contingent sharing stories about relatives who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
