About the memorial: The notice below the flag reads as follows -This small Union Jack flag was laid on the top of many-a-coffin whilst burying our dead. However when an epidemic struck then bodies had to be cremated, sometimes as many as ten in one burning. This flag was then literally laid on each body for those precious few seconds whilst being carried to the pyre.
