St Lukes Hackney war memorial

Inscription

{In the central section below the Christian cross:}
To the glory of god and in proud memory of those from this parish who gave their lives for King and Country in the Great War.
{On the front of the lower shelf:}
Lest we forget.
{On the two supporting consoles:}
1914
1919

{The list of 213 names is arranged in alphabetical sequence across 8 columns,. See Subjects commemorated for the names.} 

The list of names contains two pairs of duplicates: C. Chipperfield and H. Smith; neither is a transcription error on our part. These could be unrelated but sadly it is possible that a son, named after his father, could be killed in the same war as his father.
