Lancing College seems to be alive and well. Presumably they decided they didn't need that memorial anymore, which is a bit sad, but unless they locked it away it in a safe they'd probably have to deactivate it for display. Tough call that.
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Edward Bernays, 1928

Has anyone ever heard of a rifle being donated as a memorial to a soldier killed on active service before? I've heard of hospitals which were built, following WW1, to commemorate lost soldiers and I believe that many of the war memorials which were erected in almost every city, town and village during the 1920s were often paid for by public donations but I think this is the first time that I've ever heard of a rifle being donated.
