More about this scene
This restrained war memorial was erected after the first war and added to after the second. It is always interesting to see the differences between the two. Apart from the heavier loss of life during the so called Great War, men then overwhelmingly joined the army with local conflict saw a much wider variety of occupations in the armed forces, and Wilmslow men were spread throughout the services and theatres of war.
