With thanks to Rosemary Ward and Jonathan Ambler for sharing. This fantastic booklet gives an insight into the people involved in both the building and unveiling of the Cenotaph. A special mention should be made of the four children who unveiled the Bronze name tablets: Annie Rhodes, Ivy Ackroyd, Willie Jowett and Ernest Harris - they all lost their fathers during the Great War.
