Past Events in the 1910s: War Memorial - 1916 October
 |
"A representative
Meeting, with the Rev. R. Coad Pryor in the Chair, was held in the Church
Room, on the 22nd inst., to consider the question of a War Memorial.
A general feeling was expressed in favour of the provision by Hampton
Hill people of a memorial in Hampton Hill. |
| This would be for those resident in, or connected with, Hampton
Hill, who have fallen, or may fall, in the War, in preference to
one memorial for the whole Hampton District, and it was decided
that when the appropriate time arrives later on to collect subscriptions
and take other steps to give effect to this plan. A further Meeting
should be called to elect a Committee and settle details. It was
also arranged that in the meantime a small sub-Committee should
keep the matter in view and receive any promises of subscriptions
for payment later on that any well-wishers of this local scheme
might desire to make at the present time. Promises of support may
be made to the acting Hon. Treasurer, Mr. A. J. Kestin, Isledon,
Wellington Road, or through any of the District Visitors." |
