World War 1 Scout Memorial
CWorld War One- Memorial Plaque
Donated by 3rd Lymm Scouts
This memorial plaque was put to one side during the clearing of the Old Scout HQ in 2014 in readiness for demolition and replacement by the new Maple Lodge.
The poem ..starting "They shall grow not old" is from the Ode of Remembrance by Lawrence Binyon, first published in the Times as early as September 1914.
It commemorates Patrol Leader Harold Cornes and two scouts, Arthur Clare and F. Leigh Warburton. We would welcome any further information about these three people and Tony Bone from The Royal British Legions notes 'Did you know it was a replacement for two separate (WW1 and WW2) plaques?' The plaque is "signed" J. Russell.
It was presented to Su Williams of the newly formed Heritage Centre group by Paul Fuller on behalf of 3rd Lymm Scouts at the opening of the new Maple Lodge Scout and Guide on Oct 5th 2014.
