War memorials return home 29 June 2010 Isle of Man Post Office has put on display war memorial plaques which recognise the postmen who died in the First and Second World Wars. The plaques were erected in Douglas's Regent Street Post Office to coincide with Armed Forces Day. Hector Duff, of the War Memorial Preservation Society said: "I am delighted that these war memorials have been reinstated at Regent Street Post Office. These men gave their lives for us so that we can enjoy the life we have today and we must never forget them." The First World War plaque was designed by Archibald Knox and dates back to 1921 while the Second World War plaque dates back from about 1948. They were paid for by former Post Office employees to remember their lost colleagues and in remembrance of former Post Office employees who enlisted for service. The plaques had been kept at the Manx Musuem by Manx National Heritage. More stories >>>
