Thank you for your question. We have looked through the folder for Eston, and the bottom photograph has 1916 – 19 written on the back. We are wondering if this post has included photographs of Miners’ Rallies across various years in a similar period, thus confusing the fact the Lone Soldier statue was not erected until 1921.
Hi,
This states that the year is 1961, yet the lone soldier memorial was not erected until 1921????
