Good News!
After consideration, West Ham United have decided the Memorial will recieve greater prominence by being placed at the main reception entrance to the Boleyn Ground, rather than in Castle Street. Bricks are being removed so that it can be cemented in permanently!

Furthermore, it is with very sincere appreciation that I can announce that the Memorial will be crafted by H L Hawes & Son, a local family funeral directors, which has been in the area for over 160 years. The care, consideration and service shown to me is second to none and I cant rate them highly enough.

It is also hoped that we can get the 13th Essex 'Colours' brought along from The Essex Regiment Chapel in Warley Church.
