At Langmark there is a modern cast bronze plaque in memory of two UK soldiers on one of the upright pillars, what is the story here?

John,

There is an old thread (2003) about this :

And there must be a more recent one, but I can't find it right now. (I am sure there is one, because I posted a photo in it.) I'll go back and have another search. (I think the name is CARLILL, not CARHILL.)

before we left three buses loads turned,

We should have all wore pink like some members have to ID each other.

I think Annette, I was in the lead coach because I remember two or three others arriving as we were getting off our coach. Did you mean pink poppies or pink clothes...don't think the latter would suite me...

Thanks Aurel that answers my question although reading the posts on that thread not sure if the bronze plaque on the old pillars was the ideal solution.
