Notes from NEWMP
Present location for the Belvedere Plaque and medals
The DLI Association used to meet in the Belvedere Club where this memorial used to hang. The Association is now based in Shildon, and arranged for the memorial to be placed in Bishop Auckland Town Hall because, for some unknown reason, they did not want it to go to the DLI Museum
