The Lost Generation
BENTLEY WAR MEMORIAL
The Parish Council
completed the refurbishment of the war memorial as part of their
millennium project and annually, since then, services of
remembrance have been held around the memorial. These services are
always well supported by the local community. The school, together
with the local community, also hold a 'Service of
Remembrance'.
Each year since
November 2001 a 'Chaplet' shaped wreath was supplied by a local
resident for the Parish Council to lay during the ceremony with the
words she had requested reading: 'From the Residents of Bentley -
In Remembrance'
The Parish Council
accepted this heartfelt gift and therefore did not purchase a
wreath until the resident was no longer in a position to do
so.

The names of the fallen from Bentley:
(Listed on the
Memorial)
We are the
dead.
Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
loved and were loved, and now we lie in Flanders fields.
When you go home, tell them of us and say
For your
tomorrow, we gave our today. (Kohima
Epitaph)
