In rememberance of-
George Martin Faulding whose ship was torpedoed in 1942-he was only 23 and was due to be married.....such a young life to be lost.

Also in rememberance of all our brave men and women who lost their lives serving on behalf of our country to make it a safe place for us-we did not know you but you are our family.Rest in peace.
