Information Requested by John Briggs
Hello, I'm an author from Darlington seeking some information. After a successful Warship Week National Savings campaign from the 14th to the 21st of March 1942, H.M. M.T.B.341 was adopted by the civil community of the Rural District of Sedgefield, Co. Durham, which included Cornforth, Fishburn and Trimdon. As part of the adoption ceremony the Admiralty presented the council with a shield shaped plaque containing the crest of M.T.B.341. In return the council presented the ship with a plaque to be fixed on board, this plaque would have been returned to the council when the boat was decommissioned at the end of the war.
I'm trying to find the whereabouts of those 2 plaques ,especially the Admiralty plaque, as it would have been on public display somewhere in the area. The current council don't seem to have it or know where it is. I've attached a pic of a similar plaque given to Hetton U.D.C. I wondered if any of your readers might have any information on the plaque or the warship week in general?
Thank you, John
