Memorial Plaque for St George's Ieper


Mark Hone

Recommended Posts

I am currently finalising the design of a memorial plaque for St George's which it is planned to dedicate in a special service during our tenth anniversary battlefields tour in October 2004. (All Baker Pals hereby invited!) I have received details of the necessary dimensions, materials etc from the church and we are about to apply for official approval, or 'Faculty' as it is called in the C of E. Before I get the plaque made I wonder if any contributors have been involved in a similar undertaking and may have any tips, wrinkles or other helpful advice.

Thnaks for asking. It went very well. Despite my worrying about various details on the design etc the approval (faculty) was duly received from the C of E, the plaque splendidly made by Superior Signs of Bury, taken to Ieper on a private trip over the summer, and duly dedicated at St George's in a special service on the last night of our tour on Sunday 24th October. Pictures will appear shortly, I hope. Many thanks to Ray Jones, David Beattie and all at St George's for their help with this project.
