You will, no doubt, have noticed the poppy pin-flags commemorating the centenary of the Battle of the Somme on both the Red and Blue 16th greens. The Berkshire Golf Club has been at the forefront of supporting the Royal British Legion's Sport Remembers campaign to remember those lost in the Battle of the Somme 100 years ago. The Royal British Legion is calling on the nation's sporting organisations, associations, clubs, teams and individuals to commemorate the role played by sportsmen on the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.
The campaign, called 'Sport Remembers the Somme 1916-2016', was officially launched at The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers headquarters, Tower of London, by sporting legends across a plethora of sports including golf's former world number one and six time major winner Sir Nick Faldo.
The British Legion launched an initiative this year to engage with a range of sports to help remember sportsmen who were lost during that battle and the First World generally. Many of them were part of the so called "Pals Battalions" who enlisted together.
The PGA have undertaken some research on finding records of members who may have been amongst those killed.
If you are interested, the following links will give you more information on the British Legion initiative and some stories resulting from that research. |
