    1. Many of the war memorials only list the number of men who died - this one lists all the ones who went to war including those who returned and remember this was from just one church out of maybe a dozen or more in the town.

  4. A lot of churches here that date back to those years will have honour rolls, both of those who served and those who died in the wars. It's quite fitting. This church saw a lot of their own in service.
