A specially commissioned plaque featuring the names of 32 people who died in conflict will be attached to the war memorial in Wellington Park.

The plaque was created following research by historians Ray Hitchcock and Mike Perry during their work on three books called Our Boys, Our Boys and a Girl, and Our Other Boys.

Wellington Town Council was first made aware of the ‘Missing 32’ on the war memorial in 2016 and it was decided that a bronze plaque featuring those names would be added to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War.

The plaque will be in place before Armed Forces Day on Saturday, June 30, and the chaplain of Wellington’s Royal British Legion branch will formally bless it during the Remembrance Sunday service in November.

Stonehenge Masonry created the plaque.
