How wonderful to see that a memorial plaque at a former ironworks has been found in what looks like good condition.  Saw it on the news today.  Just wondered if anyone on the forum had been approached to identify family or give war details of the fallen.  Interesting project and I wonder how many more are out there somewhere.  Vague recollection of someone on the forum who was trying to rescue these plaques.

Found !

It was never lost  

 

It hung in Saumelson's (Sammys) working mens club,  Parliament Road Middlesbrough for decades

 until the club closed a few years back, it was then  removed and placed in storage in the Dormans Museum when the club closed a couple of years ago

 

I understand it is now going to be renovated

 

Journalists, don't always let accuracy get in the way of a good story
