THAME Remembers, set up in 2014 to commemorate every named person on the town’s War Memorials, with a special cross, has achieved its aim of remembering all 212 men from Thame who fell in World War One by placing a Thame Remembers Cross on their grave or memorial wherever in the world that may be, by the centenary of the end of WW1 in November this year.
