Quote from
Portrait of Gloucestershire by T.A. Ryder (first edition produced 1966)
'Coleford is quite the most attractive of the Forest Towns; it has large playing-fields and grounds bought with public subscriptions in commemoration of the winning of the Victoria Cross, in 1916, by Captain Angus Buchanan, son of a local doctor'.
