Hello Donna

Blackmore’s War Memorial was built in 1920 by public subscription and on dedication, on 7 November that year, passed to the Parish Council for custody. It was rededicated on Remembrance Sunday, 14 November, 2010 following a clean and re-engraving of the names. For more information on those inscribed go to http://www.blackmorehistory.co.uk and follow the link ‘Great War’.

Regards
Andrew
