Strangely (and I have no idea why) there is a memorial to pupils of St Chads College, Wolverhampton in Dumfries! It is in the Chapel at St Josephs College (which itself is a memorial).

This memorial is another which is not listed on UKNIWM.

OS Map Ref: NX 979 756

Very stange indeed. Even if it is not in Wolverhampton at least it is on public view and not in a skip or hidden away by overly p.c. headmasters or ministers.

Regards

Having read your caption I would like to add that the St. Chad's College plaque was erected around 9 years ago by past pupils of that school. St. Joseph's College Chapel was chosen as a location for the plaque as St. Joseph's was run by the same religious order as St. Chad's, and there was no suitable location at St. Chad's.

That's very interesting, thank you, this memorial is currently not listed on UKNIWM and I will be sending a registration form and photos to the Imperial War Museum in the next few days and I will include this info. If you care to PM me (or post) your full name, I will be glad to credit the source.
