About the memorial: Leather bound Book of Remembrance. The very long text is reproduced on the reference. It is too long to reproduce here. The book commences by explaining how it was compiled (which is a good reference source by itself explaining the methodology of researching such a work), then continues with a history of the Parish War Memorial (WMO/218515), then explains the original agreement with the CWGC to maintain the 3 war graves in the Churchyard, and concludes this preamble with an explanation of Major John McRae's poem "In Flanders fields", and finally the motives for compiling this work. That is followed by a list of all who fell in WW1, with age, rank, regiment and date of death, in alphabetical order, followed by exhaustive details for each man, followed by the same layout for each WW2 casualty. In many ways this is an updated and much extended version of a booklet produced after WW1, and mass produced- so not a memorial in it's own right. See the references for details.
