THOSE who fought in the Great War to protect Britain's freedom will be remembered in a special event at St James' Chapel on Monday, August 4. The chapel is hosting seven presentations of words, music and images on the hour every hour at 11am, noon, 1pm, 2pm, 4pm, 5pm and 6pm to mark the centenary of the start of the First World War. The presentations will be run at these times to allow as many people to attend each one, with a run time of around 30 minutes. After each presentation, people can read some of the stories of the men named on Okehampton's war memorial at All Saints Parish Church. Visitors are asked to arrive at the chapel before the start of each presentation, or after it has finished before exploring the chapel to read the stories of the men involved in the conflict. l On August 4, 1914, Britain declared war on Germany. Sir Edward Grey, Britain's foreign secretary, said the 'lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime'. The war, which became known as the Great War and the First World War, lasted more than four years, resulting in 888,246 British and Empire fatalities. On August 4, 2014, the legion, and the cultural programme '14-18 NOW', has launched the 'Lights Out' campaign. At 11pm on August 4 Westminster Abbey will be shrouded in darkness — its only source of light will be the flame of a single candle at the grave of the Unknown Warrior. The Royal British Legion is inviting the public to host an event in memory of all those who died in the Great War by supporting the campaign. Lights will be turned off between 10pm and 11pm across the country. The Royal British Legion is hoping the event will mark the largest act of reflection the United Kingdom has seen. Special 'Lights Out' candles are on sale at Marks and Spencer stores at £4 — £1.33 of which goes to the Legion's Poppy Appeal.
