I took these today in the Bell Hotel, Aylesbury market square. This is a Wetherspoons pub which we always use, but the first time I have seen this. and we have sat in this area loads of times, but not right beneath it as today.

I took these yesterday 30-12-19 but am not really sure where though ? We saw it along the side of the road around the Billericay area towards Wickford. Essex. An elderly lady walking her dog stopped to ask us if we had any connection to those listed. Also told us that this memorial had been moved from it's original place and put here, and she looks after the flowers etc.

The CWGC site gives two F W Phillips from the Navy. One on HMS Neptune sunk by mines in the Med and the other serving with HMS Europa, Lowestoft. Was the latter a cover for those serving with COPP?

I have seen a lot of books about specific War Memorials but I think this must be the best, it has some beautiful pictures of the memorial.
