About the memorial: Inside St Mary's Church, Little Wratting, opposite the door, is a wall mounted Plaque. A grey Hopton Wood stone tablet, 43 inches high by 26 inches wide honours six men of the village. Facing that, on the door side of the church, is a similar plaque commemorating the 4 men who died in World War Two On Saturday 18th September 1920, Canon J.R.M. Vacher, Vicar of Clare, dedicated the memorial. Commissioned and paid for by public subscription it was commissioned at the same time and from the same company, The Cambridge Wood and Stone Carving Works, Rattee and Kett, Ecclesiastical and General Builders, Carvers, Sculptors and Monumental Masons of Cambridge (the same firm that rebuilt the church in 1916). The cost was £43.15s. plus 1 guinea for fixing and 4 pence for stamps. There was a shortfall of 13s 1d, but this was made up by the Chairman of the Parish Council, Frank Sainsbury, from his own pocket. Recorded in the South West Suffolk Echo on 25th September 1920.
