Oldfield Park Junior School (Bath) WW1 Memorial Project
War Memorials in Bath
I am interested in tracing/finding WW1 memorials that are known to have been erected in Bath but which are currently 'Missing in Action', as well as keeping an eye on some whose future may be uncertain. In 2015 we managed to bring back the 'lost' Pitman Press memorial, ensuring its return to Bath (from a store in Reading where it was languishing) and its safekeeping in perpetuity.
This page is a work in progress!
As ever, please do Contact me with any additional info, corrections, or with any questions!
