Eton Manor will always remember with gratitude the youth of this district who served under the dauntless and triumphant leadership of Winston Churchill.

4th June 1940
We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills.

These playing fields were designed as a tribute to the members of the Eton Manor Clubs who fought for England in the First World War. Today the 16th June 1946 they are dedicated to the memory of members who died for England in the Second World War.
