First Poppy Planted

Posted On: 05/03/15

Joshua Puckey plants the first poppy in memory of Cyril Waring, the first former CRGS student to lose his life in World War 1. This marks the start of a memorial programme in which a poppy will be placed in memory of each of the 76 former CRGS boys who lost their lives in the war. The ceremony will take place as close to the 100th anniversary of their deaths as possible, and will follow an assembly where students of the school are told their individual stories. Our thanks to the School Archivist Society for the research.
