Twenty Five Years of Wreath Laying and Remembrance at The North Lewis War Memorials

On Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th November Remembrance services were held across Lewis. Saturday saw the service and wreath laying take place at Cross War Memorial with services at Borve and Barvas & Brue War Memorials being held on the Sunday. The annual Remembrance Services have been taking place at these locations in Cross and Borve for twenty-five years with the 10th anniversary of services being held in Barvas taking place in 2027.  In November 2001, D.A Morrison wrote a feature for a special edition of Fios to mark the dedication of the North Lewis War Memorials. We have reprinted some, but not all of this edition in this link.
