Memorial for the Battle of Boars Head
This year has seen the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Boars
Head, this largely unknown battle which had such an overwhelming
effect on Sussex and the city of Brighton and Hove had faded into
the forgotten past of public memory with only a few knowing about
'The Day Sussex Died'. The number of men lost from the city were
unknown and until this year the date was not commemorated in the
city.
After recent research the number of men lost as a consequence of
the battle is currently 62, this number is not fixed and may rise
with further research.
This ePetition ran from 23/12/2016 to 21/02/2017 and has now finished.
