About the memorial: Wooden Roll of Honour Board high on the wall of the war memorial chapel in the church. Because of its height on the wall, that certain letters are in red and it has been heavily over-varnished it cannot be read. There are 119 names, of which 28 are shown as having died (the memorial on the square has 21). However from a 1916 postcard in the Carter collection at the Imperial War Museum it is known that this was originally a street shrine-the then 77 names (11 killed) can be read and it is these which are at the end of this report. A framed transcript has been added on the adjacent wall (due to the legibility issues). Also there is now a hand written book of remembrance below giving full details of each fallen man.
