229th Anniversary of The Battle of Jersey
Grouville
As the anniversary fell on a Wednesday this year we commemorated the fallen at Grouville Parish Church on Saturday 2nd January.
The Parish Rector, Revd. Mike Lange-Smith, held a short service and a minute's silence prevailed at 11 a.m. in honour of those who died defending the island as the French came ashore in the parish. Within the service Gunner Underwood provided a short explanation of the events which led to the deaths of those commemorated on the monument. Three volleys of musket fire ended the event and the Militia retired to the Seymour Inn on the coast road. We thank the Constable of the parish for his enthusiastic promotion and publicity for this event.
