I was fortunate enough to visit the church while two local ladies were
setting out the flowers for the weekend. Since the vestry contained the
flower arranging materials, the door was open, when it would normally be
locked, and I spotted a framed Roll of Honour on the wall. I have tried to
duplicate the layout as it was on the document (including the crossed out ranks where men were presumably promoted):
Pray for those who have
gone from this Parish to
serve our King and Country
by land and sea and air
