About the memorial: It has quite an interesting history. Apparently it was used for many years as a backing board for a picture in the Methodist church and only saw the light of day c2007 when the picture in question was checked out. It is interesting. Pre printed and dedicated to 'King, Country & Humanity', most unusual. Along the top are representations of three medals; The Victoria Cross in the centre, the Distinguished Service Order on the left (Officers) and the Distinguished Conduct Medal on the right (other ranks). The flags include that of Italy which only entered the war on the allies side in April 1915. The hand writing appears to be all one hand including details of a 1918 death; altogether it is suspected to be post war. There are three Australians and five 3rd Battalion Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment. One guy is named only as Proctor - no forename. There are no women named. It seems that the roll has disappeared into the black hole of a private individuals collection of Silverdaleiana - bad news - of all things memorials such as these should be in the public domain for all to see, that the men may be honoured. If the current owner sees this record and wishes to contribute anything more about the current location or it's history, please do so.
