I am unsure how old this photo is, I can only say it was handed down from my grandfather, as it has my great grandfathers name on it, J.Martland. Best estimation it about 50 years old.

Lest we forget.

As it shows only the WW1 names (under the year of death, and probably in the order they died) and shows the names inscribed on Portland stone tablets like the rest of the memorial, it pre-dates whenever the WW2 names were added. As it is now, both sets of names are inscribed and gilded on slate tablets.
