Plaque unveiled at Gilbert Bayes' War memorial at Broadstone

On 28 July 2010, the Sculptor Gilbert Bayes (1872-1953), was honoured when this Plaque was unveiled in front of his War Memorial at Broadstone, Dorset.

This picture was sent to me by Jill Floyd; who successfully campaigned for the memorial to be listed and has now persuaded the local council to add this plaque commemorating the sculptor. Well done Jill!
