Notes
1. “A war shrine has been unveiled in Dale Street, South Shields, containing the names of 196 men who have served in the forces. Forty-four have been killed.” These numbers do not tally with the lists given.
2. On Armistice Day 1922 a special effort was made for the ceremony. It was “surmounted by two magnificent laurel wreaths.
The two side vases were filled with beautiful flowers, the glass front was covered by a Union Jack, and, on the signal for the two minutes’ silence . . . the flag was slowly raised to the top, disclosing to view the inside of the shrine, tastefully decorated with black and royal purple silk dotted with Belgian poppies.”
