Memorial Description:

Roll of Honour, behind glass in a wood frame.

At the top, the name of the Church is written in black elaborate capitals.

Underneath this is a cross beneath a crown, outlined in black and coloured red and green.

The words “Roll of Honour” are also outlined in black and coloured red and green, with the dates in small figures underneath.

The names are listed in black with red capitals. Beside each name is the regiment or where died, written in green ink, and beside this again is the date of death written in black capitals.

The name for the Falklands war has been added in a margin at the bottom and the whole memorial reframed.

a. 22 full names, where and when died.
b. 1 name, rank and regiment.

Notes:

1. Britain’s Maritime Memorials refers to “the roll of honour (which) includes several naval casualties”.

2. The same source reports of Paul A. Henry: “His actions in the inferno at Bluff Cove earned him a posthumous George Medal”.
