QUESTION TO THE RENEWAL AND RECREATION PORTFOLIO HOLDER FROM MR COLIN WILLETTS FOR WRITTEN REPLY

Question

Could you assist in bringing to fruition that Rifleman James Brown is commemorated on the Orpington War Memorial?

Reply

The Orpington British Legion had contacted the Council Leader earlier in the year regarding the recording of Rifleman James Brown on the Orpington War Memorial. A decision was made to include the name on one of the eight plaques surrounding the memorial; his name would be added to the one marked OTHER CONFLICTS.  Arrangements are being made to include this work on this year's schedule of works for memorials, which normally takes place before the remembrance ceremonies in November.
