Hi Benny
Presume this is near the Connah's Quay memorial, only asking because you mention Shotton?

Re: Henry (Harry) Weale VC
Why has it taken so long I thought this was supposed to have been done years ago where I live the stone to the local VC holder was laid about four years ago
Re: Henry (Harry) Weale VC
Hi Eddie
Haven.t the official programme of events as yet it will be put out to all branches by Des when finalised.
But I believe the stone is going to be laid into the bridge Boundary by the C/Q war memorial, more details to follow.

Hi 20
Apparently it was all to do with funding for a 2nd stone in Welsh I believe, you know what town councils are like they certainly don't rush things LOL!
Re: Henry (Harry) Weale VC
VC Commemorative Stones are meant to be laid/unveiled on the Centenary of the award. In the case of Harry Weale, it should have been laid in August. Policy states that stones should be laid in the recipients place of birth.

There is a write up of the events plus photographs in the Wrexham Leader.
