There are no numbers, ranks or arms of service mentioned although the WW1 memorial does have places noted and I assume these places are the official names of the battles the men fell in rather than the actual and exact place of death. I have not checked this personally and if anyone is interested in the men concerned they should not take the places named at face value. WW2 - In memory of Stanley Porter of this parish who died of wounds in Rome 5th February 1944 during the Second World War. Aged 24 years. WW1 - To the glory and service of God this chapel was restored by the families and friends of Newton and Haceby as a memorial to the men who fell in the Great War 1914 - 1919.
