J and N Philips War Memorial, Church Street, Manchester

Two finely modelled and engraved bronze plates on either side of the entrance hall in Messrs J and N Philips warehouse in Church Street. This memorial too is by Mr Hubert Worthington. I do not know whether he chose the words on the plate facing that containing the names, but they are worth quoting, so appropriate and direct do they seem. “Remember the men of J and N Philips who endured great hardships and achieved glorious deeds in the Great War. These, counting not their lives dear unto themselves, died for freedom and country.”
