About the memorial: This memorial stone forms part of the group comprising the main war memorial, a small obelisk to the murdered members of the Ulster Defence Regiment and this. It commemorates Lieutenant Geoffrey Cather of the Royal Irish Fusiliers who died on 1 to 2 July 1916 near Hamel during the first Battle of the Somme whilst bringing back injured men from "no man's land" under heavy German fire. These VC commemorative stones are not normally regarded as war memorials, but the added dedication below makes this an exception.
