stephen p nunn Posted 12 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 12 March , 2011 Dear all, Some fantastic news to pass on to you. The plaques listing the "missing names" have been cast and have arrived in Maldon. The appeal now stands at £5,600.83. The next step is for a supporting framework to be made and to raise the balance to pay for everything (total needed is £6,034.32 so only justy over £400 to go). There will then be a dedication and civic unveiling ceremony with all the important guests. At that point I will doubtless slip into the shadows but I am so pleased this has been achieved on the back of the research, book and, in no small part, due to this forum and you. All those brave Maldon lads are truly not forgotten now. Sincere thanks. SPN Maldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen p nunn Posted 15 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 15 March , 2011 Dear all, Lots of media interest today in the arrival of the new plaques. Plans progressing re. the unveilling ceremony. Not sure if this is the right place to post this but, having spoken to the Essex Branch of the WFA in Hatfield Peverel last year, I am doing a repeat session for them on Wednesday, 12th October 2011 (7.45PM-10.00PM) in Hornchurch at the Poppy Lounge, 1st Floor RBL, Legion House. The WFA have advertised it as: 'Maldon inTwo World Wars' - Stephen Nunn A £3 donation would be appreciated plus an optional £1.50 for the excellent cold buffet. Non members are especially welcome. Best regards. SPN Maldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanhemmings Posted 15 March , 2011 Share Posted 15 March , 2011 That's great news. I will note this down Steve. It's well worth a fiver of anyone's money. How do we pay? Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen p nunn Posted 16 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 16 March , 2011 Loads of media interest today - particularly about the inclusion of Ben Cobey's name (of Le Cateau fame). Also had a production company in touch about possibly featuring the story in a future series about the history of England. Watch this space. SPN Maldon.

stephen p nunn Posted 18 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 18 March , 2011 I am told the Daily Telegraph have got the story and printed something today. Although I am apparently quoted (and the book is mentioned) I haven't spoken to them! Funny old world but good if it promotes the memory of the Maldon Lads.
