Rorke’s Drift defender Thomas Dawe.Rededication Wellington Somerset
Just to let you know there is a forthcoming event in Wellington Somerset. a rededication to the Rorke’s Drift defender Thomas Dawe has been organised by Cpl Tim Needham from the Royal Marines. The event will hopefully take place on a Sunday in April or May, Cpl Tim Needham is waiting to hear back from the band of the Royal Welsh to see if they can get involved by providing a couple of buglers & even their Regimental 'Goat Major'. Cpl Tim Needham travelled to Australia and met the relatives of Thomas Dawe and obtained their permission. So its full steam ahead. II will keep you up to-date as I receive the Information.
And I hope you join me in congratulating Cpl Tim Needham and wish him well with the event.
Cpl Tim Needham was also responsible for organising the Luddington Event at the Weston Mill Cemetery Plymouth.
