Our “Evening with the War Poets” on 26 May was great success, with a near capacity audience at Norden Farm’s Studio. War poems were read – and sung – by Great Dixon, Edward Dixon and David Hazeldine, with our chairman Richard Poad acting as master of ceremonies. A replica of the uniform of Julian Grenfell DSO, Maidenhead and Taplow’s own soldier poet, was kindly loaned by SGI-UK at Taplow court. The uniform was lit dramatically, standing in a circle of red poppies in honour of Julian Grenfell, who died of wounds exactly 100 years ago on 26 May 1915.
