It’s so exciting! Donations for our Memorial Restoration Fund have begun to flow in.
The fund was announced by RCSA President Mike Munroe, who described it as “an ambitious project with a tight deadline and a challenging budget of over £9,000!” with a rallying cry of “And so we desperately need YOUR KIND DONATIONS.“
So please donate if you can, using the ‘donate buttons’ below.
We have consulted with many RCSA members including, with a lifetime of service to the military, our very supportive champion…. Wing Commander Paul Antony Kendall MStrat, MA, BSc, ARCS, OBE who sends us a few words:
“I am honoured to act as a champion for the RCS War Memorial project. Workplace memorials such as these remind us that the World Wars left their mark not just in terms of the physical and mental casualties, but also the lives of those returning or left behind, and the in the disruption caused within institutions.
Any university, but Imperial College in particular, is a place of dreams, hopes and ambitions; it is so appropriate therefore, to reflect upon those many young men from the College who gave up their hopes and ambitions and indeed their lives in order to give us all the peace and freedom to realise our own dreams.
I’m proud of my ARCS and my strong allegiance to the Royal College of Science and pleased to work together with my colleagues from the newer Faculty of Natural Science to recreate the long missed Royal College of Science War Memorial.”
Thank you to Paul for those thoughts, and we also offer our sincerest thanks to those who have donated. We list you all on our ‘thank you’ page. “It’s utterly heart warming!” declares RCSA President Mike Munroe.
