Previous location St. Barnabas' Church, Douglas, until the church was demolished in 1969.
Following the re-siting of the tablet, a varnished wooden plaque measuring 2.75' x 31.5' was situated immediately below the window. This is now faded and hard to read. Note that the memorial now consists just the original plaque and the later wooden addition, the window seemingly to have been demolished along with the church. Isle of Man National Inventory of War
