St Catherine, The Leigh Ordnance Survey reference: SO 866258 War Memorial |
A marble tablet in the church:
To the Glory of God and in grateful memory of the men connected with the parish who gave their lives for Justice, King and Country in the Great War 1914-1918 |
Gilbert Davis Melville Draper Alan Dyson Frank Major Benjamin Nash Thomas Vaughan Reginald Yarnold |
“Thine O Lord in the victory” |
A grave in the churchyard:
1190419 WARRANT OFFICER R.D. GARWARE PILOT ROYAL AIR FORCE 2ND DECEMBER 1943 AGE 25 |
There is also a row of characters on the stone in what, to my
linguistically challenged eye, appears to be an Indian script – probably his
name, in his native tongue.
