Hi Mack,

Happy New Year to you and yours.

Do you know which Trinity Church it was? Trinity Church, Patricroft, is here.

I will contact the Eccles Rugby Club to see if they have a memorial or Roll of Honour.

I have sent an email to the webmaster.

The Trinity Church definitely had a memorial. Here is an extract from "The History of Trinity Congregational Church, Swinton"



I wonder if the Eric Wild who unveiled the memorial is the younger brother of Charles, Oscar and Samuel?

The Wild family 1911:
Matthew Wild 47
Martha Wild 48
Charles Percy Wild 20
Oscar Wild 18
Samuel Stanley Wild 14
Eric Davis Wild 3
