"To commemorate the names of the men belonging to Broomhill and Chevington Drift who made the supreme sacrifice durin g the war, a public meeting has been decided to erect a number of cottages for their widows. A site, opposite the vicarage, has been granted by Lord Grey, and it is now a question of funds.
The colliery workers, together with the school staff and the co-operative society's employees, have willingly consented to contribute 6d weekly towards the cost of the memorial, but the committee feel there may be others willing tio support the noble work by subscribing.
