Overslade House residents remember the fallen

Overslade House Care Home in Rugby, Warwickshire commemorated the signing of the Armistice Day agreement on the day that the guns finally fell silent. 

As well as marking the forthcoming Armistice Day by wearing poppies and poppy displays around the home, residents enjoyed live entertainment from the D Day Dollies.

Nathan, a resident at Overslade House who fought in the Korean war said: “It is very important that we keep the memories of those who fought alive and that we also think about those involved in conflicts around the world today.”

Genoveva Tamasi, General Manager at Overslade House, said: “We have many residents with personal ties to the military and many who have experienced conflict either at home or abroad so it was important to us to mark the forthcoming Armistice Day, we shall also be having a service on November 11th with a 2-minute silence to honour the contribution of everyone involved in the World Wars and in subsequent conflicts.
