    Lesley,

    Our Berlin Branch of the RBL always attends the American Memorial Day, which is this coming Saturday here in Berlin.

    The American Veterans of Foreign War's (AVFW) have a Post in Berlin and they choose a different Veterans Grave each year for the Memorial and Wreath Laying ceremony.

    Regards
    Tom

    There is a Memorial Day service on the Esplanade at Weymouth each year. This because Weymouth was a major embarkation port for US forces heading for Normandy in 1944. The US memorial has an eternal light on top, which is never extinguished. The Bournemouth, Poole & District Branch, Royal Tank Regiment Association are regular participants.
