Our Lady of Willesden - WW1

Inscription

{Below the crucifix:}
Erected to perpetuate the memory of the men of the parish of Our Lady of Willesden who lost their lives in the Great War of 1914 - 1919.

The names are listed on two panels either side of the door but that to the right, east, is too weather-worn to be legible. We were grateful to find the list of names at , where there are 42 names in alphabetical sequence. We noticed that on the panels the names are listed in no obvious sequence other than Father Collins being the first.
