Post by: Damo70 on July 23, 2011, 07:34:51 PM: Class. Have any attempts been made to let relatives of those named know about it or even relatives in general through the media or any other means? It would be a shame if some people who would personally appreciate this weren't aware of it.

Post by: brian green on July 25, 2011, 08:27:40 PM: Well done to all concerned. When we have a game on or near November 11th is there a clear space beneath it to place a poppy or two?
Title: Re: The memorial plaque
Post by: Legion on July 25, 2011, 08:30:05 PM: Yes, Brian. There is plenty of space beneath the plaque for tributes.
Title: Re: The memorial plaque
Post by: brian green on July 25, 2011, 08:35:10 PM: Thanks Leeg. It will be a privilege to show respect. I will even forgo my annual joke when asked to buy a poppy replying "no thanks I have kept mine from last year".

It didn't look right, plus the copyright owners couldn't be arsed to reply.

Is it still under copyright? I thought there was a 60 year limit?

Never knew that. I always believed it was a 60 year limit for songwriters / poets from time of publishing. (And I though the poem was older then that)
