War Memorial, Crosby Ravensworth

Image: © David Purchase Taken: 4 Jun 2018

This memorial, on the wall of the village hall, is unusual in that it lists the names of all 75 men from the parish who fought in the Great War, not just those who were killed. Those who fell are identified by a spot after their names. In places the spots are rather worn, but I think there were about a dozen of them. There is presumably a memorial for those who fought in World War II, but I did not see it.
