Memorial Details

Type of Memorial: Board / Plaque / Tablet
WMR Reference Number: 15985
Description: Four similar large marble tablets erected in the War Memorial Chapel (WMR100307), set within marble frames which have lancet arches and inscriptions carved around the frames and arch. An Addendum to these memorials is incorporated within the largest of three other tablets in the Chapel commemorating Brothers of the St Vincent de Paul Society who died (WMR 75894). The four tablets are arranged in two pairs - one pair sits each side of the entrance to the Chapel, with the other pair being across from one another near the altar. Each pair of tablets carries a different set of names each arranged in date order of death from 1914 to 1919/1920, but there is nothing to indicate why this was done. The right-hand tablet of the outer pair carries an unusual inscription relating to Private J Farrell (see images).
Inscription: Outer pair - left: on frame: Greater love than this no man hath that he/ lay down his life for his friends. St John XV / R I P // On arch: THY WILL BE DONE // Above names: GOD / SHALL WIPE / AWAY ALL TEARS / FROM THEIR EYES / (Names). // Outer pair - right: on frame: Eternal rest give unto them O Lord/ and let light perpetual shine upon them. / R I P // On arch: LET THERE BE LIGHT // Above names: O / GRAVE / WHERE IS THY VICTORY / (NAMES) // Inner pair - left: on frame: I believe in the Community of Saints/ The Resurrection/ of the Body and Life Everlasting/ R I P // Above names: THEIR / NAME LIVETH / FOR / EVERMORE / (NAMES) // Inner pair - right: They that sow in tears shall reap in joy/ with joyfulness carrying their sheaves. / R I P // On arch: JESUS MERCY MARY HELP // Above names: O / DEATH / WHERE IS THY / STING / (NAMES) // Addendum: WAR / MEMORIAL / CONTINUED / (NAMES)
