This picture was kindly e-mailed to me by Ian L. (sorry don't know his surname)

I hope he doesn't mind me using it but it shows the memorial after its unveiling.

Location:  St Matthews Street, Healey Wood by the church 

 

OS ref:  103 SD833320

 

 

The inscription reads:

 

 

In thankful   remembrance

of the men of this Parish

who gave their lives for their country

in the Great War

 

 

There are three columns of names on this memorial

however they are very worn and the middle column is illegible, thanks to

Ian I have been able to provide a full transcription

There are  48 names recorded.
