10 June 2005

Major William Thomas Forshaw V.C.

Now that you have skilfully discovered where our local VC lived and died and further to our recent discussions on putting a suitable plaque on the house in Gays Lane – I am pleased to say that it would be an understatement to say that the present owners are happy to agree to this.

 I have tried contacting English Heritage (for the Blue Plaque) with little success.

I enclose all emails etc for your information.

A local Council funded and designed Plaque maybe more in keeping especially if local schoolchildren are involved with the design based on certain parameters.

Would you be kind enough to put the matter before the Council at your next meeting for the necessary permissions and funding?

Yours sincerely,

Terry Nicolson
