Notes
1. “Latten” brass is the material that is used in the memorials to be found in most of the old English Churches: it has withstood the wear and tear of centuries, and is now made exclusively by Mr. Gawthorp, of 16, Long Acre, W.C., and 19, Castle Street, W., who has designed and engraved this handsome memorial for the Regiment.’ (August 31st 1899, p.128)
