I WOULD like to express the thanks of our branch to Blackburn with Darwen Council for their swift action to save the war memorial from the old Park Road Methodist Church in Darwen.

We also send special thanks to the Lancashire Evening Telegraph for its coverage and reporter Ian Singleton for keeping us up to date, and an extra special thanks to Councillor Mrs Karimeh Foster for her sterling work for the people of Darwen.

I hope a good site for the memorial can be found in Darwen town centre.

MR J B THOMPSON (President/treasurer, Darwen branch Royal British Legion), St Philip's Court, Witton Parade, Blackburn.
