More than 80 people gathered at Oakland Memorial Cemetery on Nov. 14 to remember the 20 Royal Air Force cadets who died in Terrell while attending the No. 1 British Flying Training School during World War II. Remembrance Day is celebrated around the world on the Sunday nearest Nov. 11 each year to honor veterans from all wars. The Rev. David Faulkner, rector of Terrell’s Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, read scriptures, prayers and gave a brief meditation. The RAF flag was lowered for a moment of silence while Bruce Snyder played The Last Post (British equivalent of Taps), followed by Reveille as the flag was raised again. A wreath of poppies was placed by the central monument. A flyover by a vintage aircraft marked the conclusion of the ceremony. Guests then adjourned to the Museum for a reception. COURTESY PHOTO
