- Description
- Two plaques with First World War casualties. Both feature an engraved wreath around the names of those who died and the dedicatory inscription. The first is names A-L, and the second names J-Z. On the J-Z plaque some names on the right hand side of the plaque are unreadable due to over-polishing and consequent camera flash.
