Hi Ken

Thank you very much!

I'm going to have another look later and also pass on anything I can to them including the photo and the best transcription I can give them and see what they think., and also if it turns out to be in Manchester if it is of any use to them.

I've not looked round the MLFHS site for a while anyway.

Thank you again

Hi Ken

Thank you again!

I didn't know this forum but I've signed up and put a link to this one. 

I can't send it by email to MLFHS beciause it's just one of those links you can't put things on.

Thank you again.

Hi all

I have a feeling, after looking at it again, that this may have been a memorial wall/screen, and that there are perhaps up to 4 columns of names not on the photo.

If you look at the top of the memorial, that plinth goes across the bottom bit, rather than straight up.

I am now as intrigued as emms, so if anyone can shed any light that would be great.

Hi Debbie

We meet again!

Funny the questions you think are the simple ones are always the most complicated!

I'm intrigued by what's on the top too.  I think there's an earl or somebody and a date later than WW1.

Thank you for all your input.

I've been intrigued by this discussion!!

The alphabet has got to R by the end of the second column so probably 3 columns of names?

Is that May 25th at the top? Could it commemorate the last day of the battle of Ypres? I've tried playing with the image in photo editing software but can't make the inscription at the top any more legible.
