I also think it would be a good idea if July 1 were designated a civic holiday in Hyndburn. As I have mentioned before, in the great province of Newfoundland and Labrador, July 1 is celebrated as Memorial Day. This is to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the men of the Newfoundland Regiment on July 1, 1916 at Beaumont Hamel, close to Serre where the Pals went into action. The Pals deserve the same recognition.
