On Sunday the 10th November, pupils, staff and parents from the school joined members of the Sherfield community to commemorate Remembrance Sunday 2019. A wreath was laid at the Sherfield-on-Loddon War Memorial by the Heads of School and Heads of Prep School in memory of Capt Aidan Liddell and the fallen of Sherfield-on-Loddon and surrounding area.
On Monday 11th November, the school held its own memorial assembly and service with a focus on 1939 and the battles of 1944. A wreath was laid in memory of Captain Liddell and we are very grateful to Sqn Ldr Henry Leese of 7 Squadron who attended as the guest of honour. This was a particularly poignant visit as Aidan Liddell served with 7 Sqn in 1915 when he died of his wounds and he remains the only member of the squadron to have been awarded the Victoria Cross.
