I cant find one in Green Haworth but thats not to say there isn't one housed somewhere away from the general view
thanks

I posted a similar question on the AGSOB website some time ago. No one was sure but this is the response I got from Bob Dobson, who I hope does not mind me re-posting it on here. If you do find the location of the Memorial Plaque you may also come across the AGS Honours Board.
"The likelihood is that these boards went up to Moorhead and stayed there on the walls until 1975. They probably got put in the janitor's room along with the First World war memorial whuich retrieved a few years ago. i think it unlikely that they still exist, but I will enquire. The memorial is now in Accrington library albeit not in the best position due to ongoing building work. A memorial to the fallen of WW2 was ripped from an outside wall at Moorhead and probably sold as scrap. It didn't bear names."
