Additional Notes
Additional general notes on the memorial
The left hand window has a family dedication to people who died in 1933, which matches the war memorial window in style, but 9 years apart!.
The newspaper report carries a picture of the central window with what apparently is a bigger panel with more writing in it, which could be names. Was this altered when the other window was dedicated.
Although the window has no names the newspaper report tells us they are-
Pte E Binney RAMC
Pte A Coates NF
Lieut Henry Greener DLI
Corpl JW Greener NF
Pte Wm. Hunt DLI
Pte T Staff DLI
Pte W Staple GG
