Sgt. Dennis Steadman RAF |
Note: I originally transcribed this memorial around 1991: at that
time there was no 1939-1945 entry on the plaque. A revisit in Dec 1999
revealed that this had been added sometime in the interval.
There is also a shield-shaped white stone plaque in the church which reads as
follows: In
proud and loving memory of
David James Thomas
Signaller, Royal Warwickshire regt.
Eldest son of
James and Martha Thomas
‘of Evelench in this parish’
who died of wounds received in Action
in the ‘Great War’
April 15th 1918. Aged 20 years
Buried at Iseghem in Belgium
‘Greater love hath no man than this
that a man lay down
his life for his friends’
Note: David James Thomas was an old boy of Worcester Gramamr School, and his name appears on the school memorial.
