As Barrie states, the ASGS memorial to the fallen of WEW2 has gone missing. It6 didn't have names on sop far as I am aware. There are two books in the library giving the names of the lads who fell in both wars, the details were compiled by Bill Turner(RIP)

Dobbo you should know better, of course I've seen the one at St Clements, and know who they are. Bill and I rescued a lot of WW1 memorials from churches and schools that were either being demolished or turned into mosques.
The ones that I haven't seen are the Union St chapel, Abbey St Wesley Chapel , Royds St Chapel, Christ Church, and Oak St Congies, but I do have the names from all of them. Christ Church now has one I made for them.
