Baker St. memorial.

A letter appears in The Telegraph today saying: SIR - In Baker Street underground station, a fine marble war memorial is passed by thousands every day. It is now dirty and decrepit. A friendly Transport for London official told me that the cost of repair was unaffordable at £10,000. I told him I would polish the big brass shield, whose engraving is scarcely legible for filth. He said he would do it himself, in a week or so. Lest he forget, before Remembrance Sunday, I shall be there with my Brasso. Penrose Halson The Great Central war memorial appears to be well looked after by the members of the Great Central Society http://johnlawontherails.fotopic.net/p58236561.html Indeed it is. Although I believe it has moved from its original site at Sheffield. Saddly the GCR's other memorial 6165 "Valour" is no longer with us. |
