photo by Bryan WalkerA new plaque was added in 2007, for Private
George W A Reed, of the 2nd Battalion, East Surrey Regiment. In 2011 the
main plaque (above) was stolen. It has since been replaced. From the scratch
marks on Private Reed's plaque it would seem that attempts were made to
steal this plaque too.
There is a scroll inside
the church, with the names of casualties from both wars.
