As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials – usually called “war memorials” in English – are still very important today. “Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said...” says the so-called “Hymn of Simeon” (Luke’s Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people commemorated here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term “dead soldiers’ memorial” is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously most common “war memorial”. However, such a war memorial, which one encounters so often on the road, regardless of nationality, language and name, is always a testimony to the horror of war and tyranny – still significant and current today. They all have two essential functions, and this is renewed for each generation: -1- Commemorate and remember the victims -2- Remind people to keep the peace

Lovely village pub to have lunch

This pub has a big garden and we stopped there many times for a break during a long walk through the surrounding countryside. Food and drinks all great.

Twyford is an attractive village of around 1,200 inhabitants just South of Winchester and just within the western edge of the South Downs National Park. The unspoilt surrounding countryside offers extensive opportunities for walking on the Downs or along the beautiful banks of the River Itchen.

This memorial commemorates the soldiers of the London Regiment, stationed here in the years 1916-1917, who were killed or missing in the Great War (World War I). There is a lot of history behind the stories of so many of these young men who left from here and didn't come back and the impact they had on nearby Twyford village.

Greene King, nice beer

Great beers made on site + guest ones too at their lovely bar. Good food. Nice people. Regularly have a bit of live music on too.

Striking Grade II Listed Building in the heart of Kings Somborne.
