Since the British government didn't want them presented in towns of less than 1000 population popul-ation they wre presented at the county seat. The presentation was made by Capt. R. G. MacKay of the British navy and Brian Huleatt Heddy, British Consulate at Den ver. Colo. They expressed the appreciation of the British people peo-ple for the ships at a time when they were so badly needed and thanked the American people for their aid and help. Mayor Clinton Nielson accepted accept-ed the mementoes and brought them to Leamington so that everyone ev-eryone will be able to see them. They will also be displayed at the high school in Delta for a time before being returned to the state capitol to be permanently perman-ently displayed. |
