The War Memorials Trust's record of this memorial can be found at https://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/68121/ (In 2009 the War Memorials Trust made a grant to conserve this Roll of Honour. The Trust's assessment was: 'The main issues with the memorial were that moisture had been getting behind the glass and mould was growing on the paper. War Memorials Trust gave a grant of £407 which went towards removing the paper from the frame, replacing the backing of the paper, inserting a waterproof barrier, and filling woodworm holes in the frame. A high quality digital photo of the war memorial was also put onto a disk for future reference'. See http://www.warmemorials.org/search-grants/?gID=732 ).
