When I was at the school in the 60's and 70's they used to have a pupil at each corner of the school on all levels shouting out each name on remembrance Thursday. It was a fantastic tribute to the memory of these heroes.
ReplyDeleteI think I was there at same time as Roger Mulrooney (name rings a bell) and indeed remember those times. Now I'm older and have been to Ieper and WW1 and WW2 battlefields it means even more.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the listed name of Riding B, should actually be Riding H. My uncle Herbert - He died 9th Aug 1942 in a training exercise when his plane crashed in Alabama USA. I attended Holgate from 1968 - 1970 and at the time was unaware that his name was listed on the plaque.
ReplyDeleteThe WW2 Memorial is now sited at Shaw Lane Sports Club in the Holgate Suite and will be re-dedicated on 9 November 2023.
