About the memorial: Rectangular brass plaque on pre-existing stone wall with raised lettering. It is beside the Parish Memorial-WMO/151028. It was Dedicated on 18 July 2010 by the Church Minister at Rerrick Parish Church, and Unveiled by Mrs Georgina (Ina) Wood, nee Hamilton. It was funded by public subscription following a campaign by Jean Brown of the local history society. The four members of the Hamilton family are buried in a single grave in the Rerrick parish cemetery and this is well off the beaten track at OS Map Ref NX 760 467. All are listed on CWGC so this is a war grave. The unveiling was attended by Mrs Georgina (known as Ina) Wood who is the sole surviving member of the Hamilton family from the tragedy. Until now there was no memorial to the family/event in the church, school or any other place.
