A remarkable piece of history has found its way back into the public eye as an authentic pre-World War I army recruitment sign is set to be showcased at Preston Park Museum in Stockton. This large enamel sign, recovered from a dene, will join other contemporary artifacts in a captivating street scene display. The significance of this artifact lies not only in its historical value but also in the journey it undertook before reaching its current destination. Sergeant-Major Jack Flannigan, representing the army careers office in Horden, generously handed over the well-preserved sign after it had been safeguarded for ten years.
