Fallen heroes fondly remembered

Poppy pins were sold at the Kloof Village Mall to raise funds for servicemen and servicewomen in need.

LOCAL stalwarts gathered at the Kloof Village Mall to sell poppy pins for Remembrance Day, a day which commemorates the armed force members who died in the line of duty.

This year marks the 100th anniversary since the beginning of WW1. Remembrance Day (11 November), also known as Poppy Day, not only serves to mark the end of the first World War but also acknowledges the sacrifice paid by those who died during the conflicts.

In honour of the fallen heroes, poppy pins were sold to raise funds which will be used by the Highway Shellhole to help the servicemen and women in need. If you would like to make a donation to the project, contact Gordon on 082 881 3032.
