The
memorial stands outside St Peters Church, Rue de Rade, St Peter's, Sark.
The memorial takes the form of a wheel cross of rough-hewn stone surmounting
a rough-hewn pediment which bears the fallen names in black lettering,
the whole stands on a three-stepped base. There are 17 names for World
War 1 and one for World War 2. The memorial was built by Charles Perree
at a cost of £180 and was unveiled 4 November 1928. Within the
church is a memorial window in the form of a single light, stained glass,
window depicting St. George and the Dragon with the names of the men
around the edge in a scroll effect, the borders being oak leaves and
acorns. This was unveiled 1 January 1926. See also The
