The war memorial in Swanage was looking good after the Remembrance Parade last Sunday and the service this morning. We had a detour on our walk this afternoon to take a look at the wreaths and the small crosses, one for each person listed on the memorial. One of those listed on the memorial is for Charles Joseph Curtis (no relation), so I looked up his details when we got back. Private Charles Joseph Curtis of the 7th Battalion Border Regiment, was born in Corfe Castle, he enlisted in Swanage and was killed in action at the age of 30 on 21st September 1918 in France. Still remembered.
