WAR heroes from Oxfordshire will be remembered tomorrow in a special ceremony.

The Turning the Pages ceremony will be held at 11am at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford.

During the ceremony the names of 20 soldiers who died in the two world wars will be read out.

The soldiers who fought and died in the conflicts were from the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry and The Queen’s Own Oxfordshire Hussars.

The ceremonies are held about four times a year to remember those who gave their lives.

Families of the fallen soldiers are invited to attend.

Terry Roper, chairman of the Oxford branch of the Royal Green Jackets Association, said: “I will be attending the service.

“We would like as many people to attend as possible, including young people so they can talk to veterans and learn about the bravery of local soldiers.”

The tradition was started by Colonel Richard Hill, a former officer with the Royal Green Jackets, and after he died he passed the responsibility to Colonel Mike Vince MBE.

Names of soldiers are read out and a page from the Book of Remembrance is turned.

The ceremonies are attended by members of the armed forces, and the Royal British Legion.

Mr Vince is a lifelong member of the Army Cadet Force in Buckinghamshire.
