News article (June 2011) indicating that the plan for a bell tower for Pewaukee has fallen through.

The Memorial Website has drawings of the proposed bell tower, and photos of the ceremonial groundbreaking, but does not show the precise location.

Nov.2006 note that groundbreaking was held on Veterans Day

2006 news article, reporting that the bells are finally finding a home

The Village Website has no information about the bells yet.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Whitechapel bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
