Remember also those who fell in the Second World War 1939 - 1945.

Those whom this window commemorates were numbered among
those who at the call of King and Country left all that was dear to
them, endured hardship, faced danger and finally passed out of the
sight of men by the path of duty and self sacrifice, giving up their
own lives that others might live in freedom. Let those who come
after see to it that their names be not forgotten.
