I was passing the church recently and took the opportunity to take a closer look at the memorial. There is one small area where a few names are visible. These names are not included on the original list printed in the church's parish magazine.



I can read:
H Ross
J Roo??
Alan Tatham

So there were additions.

Confirmation of additional names:



Ron Fletcher
J Rocke
H Ross
F Timperley
H Warren
Alan Tatham
F N Waterhouse
