About the memorial: The Laying of the Foundation Stone on January 9th 1926 was performed by Mrs Mary Bennett of 15 Cedar Grove, Poulton, a widow who had lost three of her four sons during the War in France, two of them killed in the same week. William and John were aged 28 and 26 when they were killed in 1918, whilst her youngest son Edward (22) was listed as MIA for 12 months before finally being confirmed killed. The official opening of the hall took place on November 13th 1926, the day before Remembrance Sunday. The hall was opened by Major General Basil Burnett-Hitchcock KCB DSO, General Officer Commanding 55th Division. Dr Luke Paget, the Bishop of Chester was to have performed the dedication ceremony, but he was indisposed, so his place was taken by Archdeacon Paige-Cox.
