The "Craigneuk War Memorial Group" have received £30,000 to add name panels to the towns war memorial http://www.wishawpress.co.uk/wishaw-news/local-wishaw-news/wishaw-news/2010/09/22/craigneuk-war-memorial-group-gets-30-000-76495-27314065/ From article..."CRAIGNEUK War Memorial Group have been presented with a cheque for £30,000 – which will now go towards upgrading the cenotaph. The cash came from the Environmental Key Fund and Wishaw councillor John Pentland handed over the cheque to volunteers. Situated outside Craigneuk Library, the cenotaph does not have the names of the fallen, but Craigneuk War Memorial Group have tracked down the records of every person from the area who died during the two World Wars and later conflicts. They now hope to add the names to the memorial. A special panel will be reserved for Victoria Cross holder William Clamp who, although born in Motherwell, was educated at Craigneuk Public School. He was killed when he rushed a machine-gun post in October 1917 at Poelcapelle in Belgium, capturing 20 prisoners before being cut down by a sniper. Patricia Tait, secretary of Craigneuk War Memorial Group, said: “The £30,000 we received from the Environmental Key Fund will make a vital contribution in helping us to pay tribute to the fallen from the World Wars. “The memorial is a real focal point for the local community and allows people to pay their respects. We’ve had lots of great feedback on our plans. Lots of children have been saying to us that they will be able to find their great-granddad’s name inscribed on the cenotaph. “The fallen from the Berryhill district will also be added to the memorial panels and if anyone has a family member who died in the wars we would like them to get in touch. “We are very impressed with the Environmental Key Fund and they have given us lots of help and support. I would certainly encourage all community groups which need support to submit their application today.” The £30,000 which the group received came from the Environmental Key Fund’s main grants programme and will also be used to add new seats and landscape the memorial garden."
