shinglma Posted 18 September , 2005 Share Posted 18 September , 2005 Im not sure if he will be mentioned as he died in later 1920 and it all depends when the memorial was erected <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1922 - it was opened on 22nd june that year by Sir Henry Wilson. He was killed by Irish Republicans whilst returning to his home a couple of hours later. One of his killers had lost a leg at Ypres whilst serving during WW1.
