War Memorial, St Luke's Church, Dukinfield, Cheshire.

Location

Description

• Wooden panels name the men of St Luke's who gave their lives in the first world war.
• A Roll of Honour on parchement gives a longer list of names and regiments, clearly of the same era. The purpose of the list is not shown. At first I assumed it named of those of the church who had served and survived. However, many of those named there can be found in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's list of casualties. I now believe this is a longer list of those associated with the church who died in the first world war.
• Square stone vases show the dates 1939 - 1945 and give a list of names. I assume these of those of the church who fell in the second world war.
