HERE DEAD WE LIE: A new book written by Nicola Walker, entitled Here Dead We Lie, which tells the stories of all 101 men from Heathfield, Broad Oak, Cade Street and Punnetts Town who died in World War One and whose names are recorded on the Cade Street War Memorial. The stories are moving, poignant and fascinating in equal measure, and bring back to life the memories of those men, and the sacrifice that they made. As part of Heathfield’s programme to celebrate and remember the outcome of World War One, 1914-1918 a creative programme of stories, poetry, music and video will presented at 4pm on Sunday November 4 at All Saints’ Church, Old Heathfield, based on and around the book written by Nicola Walker. The church will be decorated with silhouette images, a flag pole with the reveille and sunset being played by a single bugler all being overseen by the dramatic Litch-gate display which sets the scene for opportunities to remember 100 years following the cessation of war on the 11.11.1918. The programme concludes with the muffled sound of the church bells being rung. Entrance is free, with a collection being taken (following expenses) for the Royal British Legion.
