Iron Memorial Fund, Chairperson and Treasurer
Hedley Malloch’s grandfather, uncle and great-uncle were all members of the Royal Munster Fusiliers and all saw service during the First World War. For Hedley, the story of the Iron 12 remains one of the most compelling and remarkable incidents in the history of the Western Front and he has spent numerous hours researching the story and its characters. Hedley was the driving force in designing and installing the monuments that are here today. Email: hmalloch@hotmail.com
Iron Memorial Fund, Secretary and Website Manager
David and Janet Arrowsmith. One of the eleven soldiers was Fred Innocent who was Janet’s great uncle. He was a reservist and re-enlisted at the outbreak of war. He was 27 when he was executed by the Germans. We first became aware of the story for the first time in 2006 and we were among the first members of Fred’s family in nearly 90 years to visit his grave and those of his comrades. We are indebted to Hedley for all his help, knowledge and friendship. Together we raised the funds necessary for the memorials. Email: darrows1@live.co.uk
