"At the going down of the sun and in the morning
we will remember them" |
|
It is with the greatest honour that we bring the history of those Wilmslow RUFC heroes, who gave their life in defence of our values, to the attention of the new generation. Players privaleged to play at the Memorial Ground will remember them and the sacrifices they made for us. |
