Centenary walks in honour of Sutton’s First World War solders will be held in the borough in October and November.

Sutton Living Memory is the project organising the educational walks around the war graves.

A Heritage Lottery Fund of £10,000 was granted to the project to support First World War remembrance events from 2014 to 2018.

A spokesman for Sutton Living Memory told Sutton Guardian: “I think it is a great opportunity to honour the lives of people who gave their lives in the First World War and find out a lot about their history.

“It is an act of remembrance for what they did.”

Information about the soldiers buried in the graves was acquired by archives with the group already having a “detailed knowledge” about Sutton’s involvement in the war.

The spokesman added: “We are hoping people will want to research the soldiers further and find out more about them.

“The walks are 90 minutes long. We have a blue badge guide who will walk the people around the cemetery and there will be stops at various places to explain who was commemorated there.”

Graham Tope, chair of Sutton Living Memory, is co-ordinating the events.

He said: “We are only able to accommodate 20 people on these walks and so urge people to book their places as soon as they are able.”

Bandon Hill Cemetery will host walks on October 21 and October 25.

Sutton Cemetery will host on November 14 and November 18.

All four walks will start at 2pm with people encouraged to meet at the Chapel of Rest in either cemetery.
