Additional Notes
Additional general notes on the memorial
1. "I met his brother, who had this window constructed. He himself was in the Coldstream Guards, and a POW at Tobruk." (On back of Mr. Saggers' photograph in Imperial War Museum).

2. There is a poem called “Shot Through 1919-1995” which tells the story of how Lieut. Geoffrey Warde-Aldam lived for a week in the hospital before he died, though his mother believed he had been killed instantly. Written by Jamie Warde-Aldam, son of Major Julian Warde-Aldam, brother to Geoffrey, he describes the effect of knowing the truth had on his father.
