Waringsford LOL to mark Somme battle
Waringsford Rising Star LOL 545 have held a Somme commemoration service in their Orange hall for a number of years. This observance began following the visit of the two principal Lodge officers to the Somme in 2002.
Commencing at 7.15 am, this years act of remembrance will take place at 7.30am - poignantly chosen as it is the time the men of 36th Ulster Division went over the top.
