Milton Keynes Map Of Honour

 

In the early 1920’s when memorials were being erected across Europe honouring those who had fallen in The Great War a celebrated poet expressed disapproval of such memorials, he said that those who had lost their lives should be remembered in peoples’ hearts and not by carving names on pillars of stone. He was right at the time but now one hundred years later had we not our war memorial all who gave their lives would be completely forgotten.

The Great War – World War One Tuesday 28^th July 1914 to Monday 11^th  November 1918. World War Two Friday 1^st  September 1939 to Sunday 2^nd  September 1945 There was no New City of Milton Keynes until 1967. Within its designated area and now city boundaries war memorials are located in:

Bletchley    Bow Brickhill    Bradwell    Broughton    Calverton    Castlethorpe

Fenny Stratford    Great Brickhill    Hanslope    Haversham    Lavendon

Little Brickhill    Little Linford    Loughton    Milton Keynes    New Bradwell

Newport Pagnell    Olney    Radcliffe School    Shenley    Simpson    Wavendon    Woburn Sands   Willen    Wolverton And Old Wolverton    Woughton On The Green

Their locations and very existence are central to our communities but, as with every memorial, the fears of our war poet are correct. How can we citizens of Milton Keynes hold in our hearts names of young men who died long before we were born ?

THEY GAVE THEIR YOUNG LIVES SO WE CAN LIVE OUR OLD LIVES.

I am proud to have coined that phrase but it is too easy to let it fall from the lips to become

flippant, meaningless and bordering disrespectful.

In researching the real people behind the names on our City’s war memorials I am here, where such information exists, creating a map of honour naming the homes where the fallen lived. Homes, not houses and addresses. Without these young men it is questionable if there ever would have been a City of Milton Keynes.

Remembrance tends to be solemn and formal but we are speaking here of young men, many of them teenagers. They were happy smiling people with their lives ahead of them and as we remember the fallen it is surely respectful to hold them in such a light.

Milton Keynes has more heritage and legend per square mile than any other town city or village in the country. I do not believe that is an exaggerated point of view. What matters here  is the heritage behind each and every name, street and house number within this map of honour. Today’s residents of those homes I would ask you to lift the young men who lived there before you and do as the poet said, remember them in your heart. Compared to the road system in our twenty-first city we have within this map a fraction of our present geography. No matter where you live in our city I would ask you as you walk or drive about our proud area to notice the streets, lift those who gave their young lives so you can live your old live and hold them in your heart.
