| Our village church bell |
Faire sonner le tocsin, to ring the alarm bells.
This is a public information post
for Friday 1st August 2014.
The Prefect of Deux-Sèvres has
given permission to all the Maires in the department to ring their church bells
to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the general mobilisation of
troops for the First World War. I’m sure that this will apply to other
departments too, so do not be alarmed if you are in France on Friday 1st
August and hear a cacophony of church bells ringing at 16h. Just take a moment
to stop and think about the events that were about to unfurl one hundred years
ago.
