When You Go Home, Tell Them, For Their
Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today
At the outbreak of WW1 High Lane village was a simple mining
village; how could it lose so many men?
Some of the men were ex-Boy Scouts, and are remembered each year
at the service; they are:- Joe Braddock Aged 20 years Walter
Fletcher Aged 21 years George Warner Aged 22 years Fred Lloyd Aged
22 years Stanley Ridgway Aged 21 years
Facsimilies of these local heroes are in the cache, provided May
2011 by JeanieJ, Scout Leader, 1st High Lane Scout Group.
In the church yard is the grave of David Walker a young cub
scout who tragically drowned in the canal on his way home from a
pack meeting in the 1960's.
Also George Milburn King's Scout (3rd Goodmayes) one time Group
Chairman.
Please make this a CITO cache and remove any rubbish you find in
the area. There is a small litter bin on the opposite side of the
road
The hide is simple and straight forward, appropriate to its
location. Congratulations to Khoomfay for FTF
