Does anyone know when these gates were built/opened?
As children in the late 40's and early 50's we all went to the Dawn Parade, following the returned soldiers led by the Pipe Band to the War Memorial. After paying their respects everyone went to the Reynolds Hall for a mug of tea. We children were hoping to hear re-enactments of some heroic deed, but all the soldiers talked about were the happy times they had. The dark days were never recalled, a testament to what they endured. They were all brave men, with the increase in numbers attending these days it shows they will never be forgotten.
