GLENWOOD High School held its annual Remembrance Day Service on Wednesday 10 November.
In addition to the staff and schoolboys present, many dignitaries and members of the public attended. These included the Natal Mounted Rifles, the Parabat Battalion, the South African Legion, Rhumbelow Moth Shellhole as well as local schools such as Durban Girls’ High School and Glenwood Preparatory School.
After four sentries were posted around the flagpole, various speakers explained the significance of the day and the symbolism of the poppies. The traditional Last Post, minute’s silence and Reveille, as well as wreath laying, were part of the ceremony which ended with a final prayer.
