Inspired by the Bali Bombing’s Memorial in St James Park, London and with the blessing of its sculptor Gary Breeze, the service was attended by many local people, dignitaries, and members of the three British battalions and supporting units of the British Armed Forces.

 

Many of the attendees had flown from the U.K. and had cycled from Sarajevo to Gorazde, gifting the bicycles to the school and additionally raising funds for the refurbishment of the school’s playground. This endeavour was undertaken in memory of the six much loved British soldiers, enshrining their memory through the enhancement of education of the children of Gorazde:

​

• ​Tpr Fergus Rennie, Special Air Service

• Pte Shaun Taylor, 1st Battalion, Duke of Wellington’s Regiment

• Pte Phillip Armstrong, 1st Battalion, The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire, and Wiltshire Regiment

• Pte Martin Dowdell, 1st Battalion, The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire, and Wiltshire Regiment

• Pte Chris Turner, 1st Battalion, The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire, and Wiltshire Regiment

• Pte Ben Hinton, 1st Battalion, The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire, and Wiltshire Regiment
