Armistice Day, also known as Remembrance Day, takes place on 11 November every year, marking the official ending of the WWI on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. A two minute silence is held to remember the people who have died in wars. This year marks the First World War Centenary, which is 100 years since the end of the Great War.
The Discovery and War Memorial Libraries have special Remembrance displays of war time books for you to borrow. The display in the War Memorial Library also includes the names of those from the Ravensbourne School who lost their lives in the Great War.
The War Memorial Library at TRS is particularly dedicated to Clifford George Grail, Captain 7th North Staffordshire Regiment, who was killed in action at Gallipoli on 23rd July 1915 aged 24. He was House Master at the school, originally Bromley County Grammar, from 1911 and was founder of the school corps or cadet group and would have inspired lots of boys to sign up and join the war.
At TRS, we have held assemblies for all form groups and sold poppies and other products in support of the Royal British Legion Annual Poppy Appeal.
