Description
Two brass plaques on a combined oak backboard. This memorial is additional to our reference 4035 in the adjacent cemetery. There was also a memorial at Flimby Methodist Chapel unveiled on 24 November 1920. No other details are available and this chapel was not in use by February 2015, so it is not known if it still exists as the current chapel is not that which existed in 1920.
