REMEMBRANCE ROAD FOLKESTONE

During the war tens and thousands of British Soldiers passed along this road on the way to the battlefields of Europe.

            " At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them"                                                           "Rosemary for Rememberance"                        

Folkestone in Kent was one of the embarkation points for soldiers going to France.Today in Folkestone at the top of the hill leading to the docks there are two plaques, one commemorating the passing of the many men who went through the town and why that hill had been named Remembrance road, the other commemorates the men and women of the  Royal Air Force, who faced their greatest trial over those very cliffs in 1940. The towns memorial also stands at the top of this hill, it's a large statue of Victory with her arms open facing France which you can see on a good day, beckoning the souls of the dead townsmen  home.

This is how one Kent Town remembers
