About the memorial: Silver chalice and gilt bowl. Framed dedication scroll hand written in black, blue and red in an ornate gilt frame The language on the scroll refers to the Fallen of WW2, but then says "also" the following, and these are the names to be seen in the photo.. Those names do not appear in CWGC so cannot be the Fallen of the village attributable to the war. Local knowledge would be welcome to explain this more clearly. One wonders why a WW2 memorial would not include the names of the Fallen but would include other names. Or are these the donors?
