Tribute to fallen war Heroes
(Sunday, 12th November
2006)
 

This Sunday morning, Ghajnsielem joined the rest of the Commonwealth to mark Remembrance Day to honour the victims of the two world wars. Several people gathered to pay tribute to the victims of the two World Wars at the War Memorial. The ceremony was organized by the Ghajnsielem Local Council. Mayor Francis Cauchi, the newly appointed Archpriest Can. Frankie Bajada, the councillors, together with relative of the victims laid flowers and bouquets around the monument.

Remembrance Day is actually celebrated on November 11, marking the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the signing of Armistice on November 11, 1918, that signalled the end of World War I. Special services are held at war memorials and churches in numerous countries on the second Sunday of November, the Sunday closest to November 11.

The War Monument, which is situated at Chambray Street, was inaugurated in May 1995 in honour of the Ghajnsilmizi who died during the two World Wars.
