Five names (see Commemorated subjects).

Also in grateful remembrance of those residents of the borough who gave their lives to the country during the war 1939 - 1945.
The separate, temporary, addition can be seen in our photo - the row of 6 small white crosses, on a white base, which does not appear to be attached to the monument. A name with some details has been hand-written on the base, in front of each cross, and, oddly, the name A. E. Cownden appears twice but with slightly different details.
