Tom Murphy and Bill Sergeant at the County Sessions House. Tom gave a talk about his work and Bill discussed Chavasse and the funding of the monument.

Yes his name is Tony but I don't know whether he worked there.sebo? as in tony sebo?
That's a sickener that,that's a blow isn't it?I forgot to mention that the Windsor Group have withdrawn all funding for the Chavasse Monument.
As an ex RAMC medic I have visited the grave of this brave soul on a battlefield tour and feel honoured to have worn the same cap badge.
As a military medic I learnt of this as part of our Corp's history and it makes me proud that the people of Liverpool still remember.
To care for the sick and wounded needs much more courage than to kill and maim the enemy.
To die in the process is the ultimate sacrifice

PLANS for a statue of double VC winner Noel Chavasse are facing ruin because of a lack of money. more
THE 90th anniversary of the death of Liverpool war hero Noel Chavasse was marked at the weekend with the laying of wreaths at his former home and at the Anglican Cathedral. Read
Surely, with all the new development around the city centre, a revamped "chavasse park" will look a little foolish, without a proper memorial to it's namesake! His heroic deeds must be more well known now, than they were for a long time,and I am sure many would contribute to this!
Unfortunately none of the developers seem interested in donating to the monument. I think it is something like £25,000 short, nothing to the big fish?? I attended the wreath laying on Saturday, not many there, about thirty if that !! The second book of VC Heros from Liverpool is out it is £7.00 the same as the first!! so don't go on e-bay, I am reading it at present. Try Donald Allerson, 12 Wexford Avenue, Hale Village Merseyside L24 5RY for book One, or Two. Proceeds from the book go towards a memorial statue to all VC winners from Liverpool. There is a full length play on Noel Chavasse to be performed in November, date and venue to be announced.

My local RBLC has a room called "The Chavasse Room" complete with bust.
I keep looking at Chavasse Park and hoping.
