====================================
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.
