As a conservation charity which gives grants War Memorials Trust can support repair and conservation works that follow best conservation practice. Grants are awarded from funds raised by the charity so money available is limited and is therefore focused on eligible war memorials.
War Memorials Trust’s Definition of a war memorial for funding purposes helpsheet explains which war memorials are eligible and ineligible for funding.
As a charity, War Memorials Trust relies on voluntary donations and every contribution, no matter how large or small, makes a really big difference to our work. Your donation will help protect and conserve war memorials for future generations so please support War Memorials Trust’s work.
The inscription is badly weathered and impossible to read. Indeed, the photograph is clearer than the gravestone. I think part of the inscription which is written in capital letters, reads 'Harry Wilikinson son of the above' who fell in action in Flanders .....Aged 24 years He died ... duty ... but it is not easy to say. I wonder whether somebody who knows how to do it could do a 'brass rubbing' to find out. The lettering is, however, incised. Perhaps there is another technique that could be used? I am not definitely sure of the word 'fell' but think that is what it says.
