The National Memorial Arboretum, near Alrewas in South Staffordshire, will be known to many members.  It comprises a growing collection of memorials, miitary and civilian, united by the theme of 'service'.  Members will find much of interest to explore.  Tucked away in a far corner of the 'Children's Wood' is Ark School (JHQ) 's 2013 installation entitled 'Posted!'.  This was created on the school playground by the school & JHQ community and involved design and workmanship by Ark's primary school children.  The brief description on this small memorial references the dozens of UK service schools that existed in post-war Germany and the thousands of families for whom these schools provided a focal point between postings.
