Ooh! After all this time! Thank you for those links Goldie!
So cvan people who are local say, what the building on the right in the photo is? I guess that means this is the Church of the Saviour?
Also, can we tell what date it is?
Best wishes
Emms

Hi Goldy
Thank you again.
I'm getting a bit confused now though. Do I gather that like many places round there, there's been some demolition, or are the memorial, and the church, both under those trees?
Has the church been knocked down too?
Thank you for all your efforts. This is great.
Good night.
Emms

Just a follow on to this one - The UK National Inventory of War Memorials has this memorial recorded, ref no 10721. The description on there provides additional references to articles etc. incl a story about interruptions to its cleaning in 2005!
The entry also has no details of the 400+ boys named on the memorial, so when the photo's are circulating, please send copies of the names panels to:
UK National Inventory of War Memorials
Imperial War Museum
Lambeth Road
London SE1 6HZ
In the meantime, I've followed the story with great interest. Well done all concerned.
Thanks in advance. Conductor Mike

hi Ken and Mack.
Thank you! I'm really enjoying these!
No wonder I didn't recognise the church Ken, if it didn't look like the old one!
Good night
