About the memorial: Every Friday a newspaper in Grimsby was published called “The Grimsby News”. In its edition on 19th March, 1920, the newspaper reported an event that had occurred the previous Saturday, the 13th March, 1920. This was the opening of the new sanctuary at St. Giles Church “A dignified and Artitisan Sanctuary” it described. It described a fine carved memorial of Portland Stone on the north wall of the church. This “carved monument” was unveiled by a Mr. Wallis, the father of Harry Wallis, the first named person on the monument on that Saturday. The “Nunc Dimittis” was sung along with a special hymn especially composed for the National Memorial Service held at Westminster Abbey. The monument was dedicated by the Rector of the Parish, Rev. Canon Markham. The newspaper article listed the names on the memorial, and placed the cost of all the memorials in the church opened that day as £187, of which £4 was collected that day in the service. The memorial was placed in the church by Mr. Ion, contractor, and the carving of the stone performed by a Mr. Frith of Grimsby. In the 1990’s a list of names was placed below this memorial in memory of the service personnel from Scartho parish who had died in the Second World War.
