Uncle George Posted 19 December , 2022 Share Posted 19 December , 2022 An affecting memorial here, from All Saints Church, Fulham. I can’t recall seeing a list as here, with alternating fonts for the several names. Perhaps the intention was to make each name more individual, and not just another entry on a long list. What Sassoon called, “these intolerably nameless names”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fattyowls Posted 19 December , 2022 Share Posted 19 December , 2022 A very nice triptych, I can see what you mean UG. Thanks for posting, do you have any connection to the names on it? Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, a friend lives in London, knows my interest in these things, and sends me photos every now and then. I confess I wasn’t aware of the Church Lads’ Brigade. The Boys’ Brigade I knew, but … Things are a little bleak over at WIT, I can’t help but notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hiatus over on WiT? is likely down to a) that Mr Plumb is diverted by musical activities and also with identifying places rather than people, which is my fault too, and b) that we have probably done everyone who was ever photographed during the Great War. Have a cool Yule, Pete. P.S. Every time I look at the memorial triptych it gets more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Michelle Young Posted 21 December , 2022 Admin Share Posted 21 December , 2022 I would hazard a guess that the names in italics are those who died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but I don’t think so - the names are (mostly) in alphabetical order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BereniceUK Posted 23 December , 2022 Share Posted 23 December , 2022 Nice to see that the triptych has been repaired - when I was there in 2012, the wings couldn't be opened, so all that could be seen were the WW2 names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
