Hi Folks. Thanks for letting me join such a worthwhile cause. Personally I find it immensely depressing every time I hear a story of a neglected, stolen or vandalised war memorial, most of which were paid for by local communal contributions, the only way families and their communities could express their gratitude for the sacrifice the men named on them had made. I am keen to offer any assistance in ensuring that the Memorials of Salford are treated with the respect they deserve. I am also a member of a Living history Society whos aim is to portray the British tommy as he was 1914 -1918. www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=232584754465www.themanchesters1914-18.org/ |

Thanks for joining and for a great introduction I'm sure you will be able to make some very valuable contributions to the group. As for neglected, stolen and vandalised take a look at the "memorials in danger" thread and read about the Salford Central Mission - Neglected from the planning report Salford's heritage and historical identity is being stolen If it's demolished the people responsible are no better than thieves or vandals |
