Rail Staff Memorial Dedication Day - National Memorial Arboretum 

Venue: the National Memorial Arboretum, Croxall Road, Alrewas, near Lichfield, Staffordshire DE13 7AR

The dedication ceremony will take place at 14:00 hours 

The service of dedication will be conducted around our memorial. Maurice Holmes OBE, President of the British Transport Pensioners' Federation, will lead and the Revd. James Lindsay of The Railway Mission, currently Chaplain (East Midlands), will conduct the service. 

The National Memorial Arboretum is well worth a visit and a free shuttle bus service will be available on that day between Burton-upon-Trent, Lichfield City/Trent Valley stations to and from the National Memorial Arboretum. 

It is the wish that representatives from the Southampton & District Branch of the Old Southeronians Association will be able to attend. 

The most convenient way would be to travel on the 08:00 hours from Southampton Central to Waterloo and then on the 10:46 hours from London Euston to Lichfield Trent Valley (without any changes). Please check your train times before travelling.

Please contact David Mead if you would like to join the group. (Retired rail staff suggest using a dated box).
