Also on display was a replica Red Cross fIag as a reminder of the two auxiliary hospitals which were set up temporarily in the town to nurse injured soldiers from the 1914-18 conflict. Two flags have been recreated, to go on display at the hospital and church, through a joint initiative this year by the Friends and the vicar.
