About the memorial: There is no inscription but a framed notice below gives information about it. It was presented to the parish by Revd R.D. Davies (formerly a forces Chaplain). It was first used by him on 25 December 1918 at Treviso, Italy, and later at the Advanced Operating Centre at Corita, Italy and an aerodrome near Thiene, Italy. It was made by 1037 GHQ Reserve RT Company at Treviso. The Chalice is made out of the cap of an 18 pounder shell, the large paten out of a 45 Howitzer Shell and the small paten out of a 3” Austrian Berndof shell. The Cross is made out of a plank of the Pontoon Bridge that was laid across the River Piave, Italy for the final assault of the Allies in 1918. The communion set is on the north wall of the Chancel, below the WW2 Plaque- WMO/176212.
