“Council considered condition of war memorial. Clerk recalled that it was some time since the women of the village had made an effort towards keeping it clean and tidy, but the members of the Froyle Branch of the British Legion had been under orders to do the work but lately very little had been done. Chairman requested to communicate with Lady Smiley, President of Froyle W.I., asking her to form band of helpers to keep it in a clean and tidy condition.”
In 1945 it was suggested, albeit briefly, that the war memorial be brought into the recreation ground to stand alongside the proposed new village hall!
