    Memorial

    King Henry VIII School, Coventry - Board, WW1 and WW2

    Board

    Source: Melvin Dobbs

    1/1

    Current Location

    The board hangs outside the School's Memorial Library (IWM 108651): the School's website (see References) states that the library was opened in 1958 and, given the board's modern design, it seems possible the board itself also dates from that year. , King Henry VIII School, Warwick Road, Coventry, Coventry, West Midlands, CV3 6AQ, England
