Leek Branch News & Events

     
  25th September 2005, 80th Anniversary Celebrations of the Nicholson War Memorial Leek  
 



The Leek Branch of the Royal British Legion in North Staffordshire had, with the help of a local historian, identified 14 service personnel and one civilian who had died in or shortly after World War II but had not been included on the town's War Memorial.

War Memorials Trust contributed £180.00 towards the cost of three bronze plaques listing these names which then complemented two existing plaques to 101 other local war-dead.      

  • Plaque 1 for the Civilian who died in Leek as a result of enemy action  
  • Plaque 2 for seven who died in service 1945 - 1947
  • Plaque 3 for seven who fell in 1939 - 1945
