About the memorial: The first thing to remember about this memorial is that it is NOT Stamford's War Memorial for WW1, which is in Broad Street, but a shrine-like memorial commissioned by the Reverend ELC Clapton who was Vicar in 1917. The structure of the memorial can be seen on the attached photographs. All of the inscriptions are carved and then gilded. At first glance, there seems to be no order to the names. However, it is likely that they are presented in the order of dates of death with centre panel running from 1914 to late 1917 and the outer 2 from then until Dec 1918 when one of those commemorated died from Influenza in Salonika. One name has been removed. Was this perhaps because a man who had been posted as 'Missing' later turned up as a POW?
