Notes

1. The Chester-le-Street Chronicle of 24/10/1919 reports a �Welcome Home� meeting of members. The Roll of Honour is mentioned at the end, but whether this was a physical memorial or merely a list of names is not clear. There does not appear to have been a formal unveiling, and the atmosphere described in the report does not convey the normal solemnity associated with an unveiling.
