Tony said: “I realised the link with the late soldier and his former home through working with the FoWS, who research the history of people who lived, went to school or worked on the square. More information about this, along with a copy of the Roll of Honour certificate, is displayed on the noticeboard on the edge of the gardens so people can read more about this interesting part of Preston’s history.
“I make sure that the Tommy is placed in the park opposite Private Lynch’s former front door as a mark of respect to him and all that lost their lives through conflict. It also feels like part of Private Lynch did actually return home.” As part of the Preston Cenotaph memorial, people started to compile the list in 1916 for completion in 1927 based on the names and details submitted by relatives during that time.Patricia Harrison, the Friends of Winckley Square chair, said: “The FoWS bought ‘Tommy’ a few years ago because many of the people associated with the square experienced both World Wars.
“We tell many of their stories on our guided walks. Warden Tony takes great care and pride in placing Tommy where he stands in the same spot each year, surrounded by poppies. Every year, at 11am on the 11 November, a few people gather there to ‘Remember Them’. Anyone is welcome to join us.Preston city centre will mark Remembrance Day on Sunday, 13 November, at the Flag Market and Cenotaph from 10.30am.
