All three servicemen have now been stationed at Roysse Court.
The noticeboard on the Market Place went a year or so ago, and the one at Roysse Court has also gone, while the silhouettes are on display.
In St Nicolas Church are further reminders of the Great War. Abingdon Musuem has a display of Great War propaganda, and there is a spill over of posters in the church. One reads, “Turn your silver into bullets“. Not a sentiment usually to be found in church where you are more likely to hear from Isaiah, “They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.”
Also at Nicolas Church, Cards for Good Causes: Abingdon’s biggest Christmas card shop, has opened.
Monica Lovatt, currently Chair of the Vale of White Horse District Council, was visiting the card sale, and is holding up a card from a charity for which she does a lot of work – SSAFA.
At this time of year we could also be expected to see the Abingdon Artists Exhibition in St Nic’s Church. The exhibition is on this week, 23 – 27 October 2018, but like last year has moved to Christchurch Barn, Northcourt, Abingdon.
