WHISSONSETT
WAR MEMORIAL
World
War 1 - Detailed Information
Compiled and Copyright © Martin Edwards - 2003
This
memorial is a monument within the churchyard. Details here have been
taken from an old postcard of the 1920's so there are no World War 2
entries. The memorial takes the form of a plain cross on a tapering
shaft mounted on a plinth, upon which the inscription is written, with
a three stepped base. There are ten names listed for World War 1. Details
of the Seagrim brothers who won the Victoria Cross and George Cross
can be found on the Whissonsett
village web site.
To
the glory of God
and in honoured memory of
the men of Whissonsett
who fell in the Great War 1914 - 1918
