A memorial

[Chris Smith]

I gave my telephone number...was that a bit silly to do so?

A while ago when making a Pay Pal payment I made a mistake with my email address so the receipt bounced. As they had my phone number they were able to call to check and then send it to to the correct one which I considered pretty good customer service.

Class act, well done all.

[London Villan]

All done. I went round the WW1 battlefields a couple of years ago. It really does make you humble and feel very very lucky we are a generation that never has to experience anything like the horrors they had to.

Keep us updated Woody. If there is any overspill, would it be possible to donate to the British Legion, or Help for Heroes?

Good idea.

[nick harper]

Have donated - also in memory of my great-grandfather George E Millard who was killed in action at the Battle of Arras in April 1917. He was the first of generations of Villa fans in our family.

[Woody]

Just spoke to Dave,  we are about 30-40quid shy of target.
Please do not send any cheques now.  I will be turning off donate button as soon as we hit target.
If you have already posted a cheque,  please PM me so I know (incl value) so I trigger closure of Paypal.

[Ricky]

A great effort by all involved, well done.

[rjp]

Done, good idea by the way.

[fbriai]

Have just donated too.

Also in memory of my great-grandfather, Private Wilson Thomas Richardson, of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, who died in combat at Oppy Wood, just outside of Arras, in May of 1917.

[Hopadop]

Nothing really to add,  except the world seems a little bit less shitty having seen this come to fruition.

Well done everyone involved

[Woody]

Donation button stopped - we have gone over the 300 target threshold!
Thank you everybody!!
Over to you Dave to sort.

[Fergal]

I cant find where to contribute...

[Dave Cooper please]

Well done, I'm glad I got my donation in early!

Can I humbly suggest that anyone who wanted to donate and now can't sends an equivalent amount to the charity of their choice?

[Percy McCarthy]

Well done everybody, sorry I'm too skint to contribute. I'm such a tight get I had to wait until you all reached the target before saying what a good idea I think it is.

[pauliewalnuts]

Why don't those who were going to donate but didn't make it in time, throw something at the British Legion or similar old soldiers fund instead?
