The paving stones will be unveiled at a special ceremony by relatives of Lieutenant John Cridlan Barrett VC (Leicestershire Regiment) and Henry Tandey (the Green Howards and Duke of Wellington Regiment), who were both awarded the Victoria Cross in September 1918.

The tribute forms part of the Government-led initiative by the Department for Communities and Local Government to provide a lasting legacy of Victoria Cross recipients from the First World War by laying a paving stone in the birth place of each of the 454 UK-born residents. 

The event will be attended by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire, the High Sheriff, Vice Chairman of the District Council and Mayor of Royal Leamington Spa together with representatives of the military including members of the Regimental Associations in which John Barrett and Henry Tandey served during World War 1.
