HMS St. George - Bembow 265  Class  Feb - July 1944 - 45

Brian devoted much of his time in his later years in order that Boys from HMS St. George who served, especially those who sacrificed their youthful lives in the Second World War,  should have a lasting Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, Staffs.
A Dedication Service followed by the Blessing of the Plot and the Planting of an Oak Tree took place on the 21st June 2001

REPLACEMENT PLAQUE - June 2006

The condition of the original plaque that was dedicated with the Oak Tree in June 2001 was
such that it needed to be replaced to ensure that the ex St. George Boys that it honoured
were still remembered with pride.
A new plaque, pictured above, has been placed in position on the Oak tree. 
  It has been donated by ex St. George Boy William Briggs and his wife.
Another ex St. George Boy Seaman, Les Wills
has provided the photographs of the plaque and Oak tree at Alrewas and has been most helpful in other ways.
