I think the British Legion was also involved. As an 11 or 12 year old ,I recall accompanying my father, who was the Secretary of the local Legion, to the Church and Chapel in the Village , Belton, where we lived. I well remember him, with my assistance, taking a rubbing of the decorative borders of the WW1 plaques and these were then dispatched to the manufacture, presumably with a list of names, so that the WW2 memorials could be produced. My father was also a parish Councillor so it may have been a joint exercise. The Parish Council if involved would surely have taken minutes as would have the Legion. Question is : are these still available?
