Trustees will be visiting Arras to see the progress of the plinth for the statue
Two Trustees, WW1 historians and authors Steve Williams and John Garwood are heading off to Arras in northern France on the 21st January.
They will visit the Commonwealth War Graves Commission office and manufacturing facility at Beaurains, near Arras and will see the 225 names of the Chorley Pals being engraved onto panels of the memorial.
Whilst in France, they plan to visit the Somme battlefield and leave a wreath at the Chorley Pals memorial plaque in the trenches at Serre.
