The smaller panel to the right of the larger
contains the names of all those from the parishes who served. These
have not yet been transcribed, but are shown below as they appear on
the panel. Please
contact us (quoting "set 223/34") if a name is not easily
readable, and we'll happily check and confirm for you.

In the cabinet beneath the large panel is a copy of the Dover Patrol
book of Remembrance. In style it differs from the one held by Dover
Museum, images of which may be seen
here

The note beside the book reads:
Book of Remembrance
This book, containing the names of the 2000 men of all ranks of the
Dover Patrol who gave their lives in the Great War 1914-1918
was given into the care of the Vicar and Church Council of St
Margaret's-at-Cliffe by Admiral Sir Roger Keyes Bt, KCB, KCVO,DSOand
dedicated by the Rt Rev the Lord Bishop of Dover on December 17th
1928
We will remember them
To the left hand side of the
large panel are two plaques:
 |

The church itself was a casualty of war. The plaque reads:
This Memorial replaces the window
dedicated to
William Dixon Goldsack
which was destroyed on
November 28th 1940 |

Beneath the memorial table is this: the
sash around it reads "Ville de Wimille" (town of Wimille)
and the round insert bears the dates 1914-1919 |
