WARD V.C. MEMORIAL
CITY COUNCIL SUGGESTION “With the war concluded and attention being focussed on the question of suitable memorials to commemorate the fallen, it is well to recall that a sum of £53 13s lid stands to the credit of the Sgt.-Pilot. J. A. Ward, V.C., Recognition Fund,” stated the town clerk (Mr. White) in his annual report. “Consideration has been given to the placing of an order with an artist, well known for that type of work, for a picture depicting the scene which resulted in the bestowal of this coveted award. “The suggestion was that the memorial should form part, of the permanent collection of the Sarjeant Gallery, but action in the matter was deferred meantime," Mr. . White added.
