About the memorial: The Form of the Memorial incorporates elements found in the Pugin Styled Church, the First World War Memorial, and the Seventh Station of the Cross flanking it. The association of the memorial with the stations of the cross reminds us that those commemorated suffered the loss of life for others as did Our Lord. The Cross surmounts the English oak frame of the. highest quality, made by a local craftsman, Mr Tom Kelsall of Slyne. It encloses a brass panel, under a wooden arch carved with poppies, copied from those growing at Slyne. and representing sacrifice. The use of English oak and local poppies reminds us that the men who died lived in the locality. A Dove of Peace holding an Olive Branch is engraved at the head of the brass plate. The Dove is face forward with wings outstretched, to symbolize Our Lord, the Prince of Peace sacrificing Himself for us on the Cross. The Plaque was made by the craftsmen who maintain the plaques in the Regimental Chapel at the Priory Church. It includes the names of one man who died in Oman and one in the Gulf Conflict.
