Below the names it reads :
All of this Parish
These fell in the Great War 1914 - 1918
At the call of King and Country they left all that was dear to them, endured hardships, faced dangers, and finally passed out of sight of man. By the path of duty and self-sacrifice giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom.
Let those who come after see to it that their names be not forgotten.
