Carl Smith's name added to Rushden War Memorial Panel

A new National Memorial Arboretum opened in 2000 at Alrewas, Staffordshire to commemorate those who have fallen in conflicts since 1945.
On Saturday 16th August 2008, Rushden & District History Society members took a bus trip to visit the Memorial Gardens and Arboretum.
The site has been reclaimed from gravel pits, and is beautifully laid out with thousands of trees and forms part of a National Forest.
