Description
White Stone Tablet divided into 3 columns for the 3 congregations, WW1 names on the upper part, WW2 names on the lower part. This replaces an earlier memorial- our reference 57056. It is interesting that the total of 59 names is the same as that which was supposedly for WW1 alone on 57056.
Inscription
Column 1: ST MICHAEL'S/[WW1 names]/[WW2 names] Column 2: ST PETER'S/[names]/[WW2 names] Column 3: ST COLUMBA'S/[names]/[WW2 names] [NOTE- the WW2 names are not arranged by church- all 3 churches are together] at the base of the tablet: 1939 1945
