Plaque on top surface- F/LT. JOHN C. DUNDAS, D.F.C. & BAR OF 609 SQN./ On the 28th November 1940 he shot down Major Helmut Wick, a Luftwaffe/ Ace Fighter Pilot, to the South of the Island. He in turn was shot down by/ Wick's No 2 immediately after. Neither bodies were recovered./ If it was not for he and his like at that Period in World War 2 this Country/ and all of Europe would have succumbed to Nazi domination./ Let not their sacrifice for our freedom be in vain/ Graham Alderson/ 28th November 2000/ Plaque on front face- MEMORIA/ Stranger, do not just pass by, but bide awhile before this/ simple memorial stone/ which marks the place near where an airman died half-a-century/ ago. Not now, as then, unknown to you who stands beneath a/ friendly sky that was his last arena/ to tilt at strife against outnumbering foe, which he would/ not deny./ He met obligations due and paid for with his life .../ So, stranger, before you go upon your tranquil way,/ learn this man's name and the manner of his end above your/ head, on that distant November day./ And if you find sorrow, you're not a stranger, but a friend ../. ALDERSON G/ BOXALL L/ LODGE K/ OTWAY P/ SPOONER R
