Acton Remembrance Day Brings World War Memory to Community
Acton observed Remembrance Day with a cenotaph ceremony led by Legionnaires including Jom McHugh and Will Midleton. Wreaths were laid by municipal and veterans groups, followed by a Knox church service and hymns. Legion padre A H McKenzie urged charity and respect for the dead amid debates on history and holidays. The two minute silence opened and closed with traditional signals as residents marked the day in a cold, quiet town.
