Memorial Description
Processional Cross mounted on stone plaque bearing the names. The plaque is 7 feet 6 inches high x 3 feet wide with hemispherical top. There is a plain raised edge. At centre top is a raised circular platform painted blue with gilded edge which forms a “halo” to the top of the cross. The names are listed in a single column, the lettering in Roman capitals and coloured red. At the bottom is a scroll raised in half relief in bronze.
The processional cross has a turned wood shaft, surmounted by a ball decorated with a zigzag pattern. The cross itself is on inlaid wood, with a bronze boss at the crossing, the arms of the cross outlined with blue.
