Two trees dedicated to Privates C. R. May and H. V. Partridge, who lost their lives during World War II, were planted when Arbor Day was held at the Erith school last Friday.

Mr. R. S. Goldney MP, who took part in the ceremony was accompanied by Mrs. Goldney who was handed a posy by Robert Angel, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. Angel. 

Rev. B. S. Howland, of Balaklava recited the Ode 'They Shall Grow Not Old . .' and Mr. C. G. Samp son sounded the Last Post.

Parents of the late Mr. May tended the apology for being unable to attend and the late Mr. Partridge was represented by Mr. F. Partridge.

In addition to the memorial service the teacher (Mr. R. Wissell) arranged a display of work accomplished by the scholars who were later given a half holiday by the chairman of the school committee (Mr. E. G. Wedding).
