"Milford Haven (St Katherine's Church) War Memorial
Within the confines of St. Katherine's Church at Milford Haven is a wide array of memorials to local servicemen who fell during the Great War. The Church holds a memorial sedilia to William Sanders, VC, and several fine stained glass windows; one in memory of Lieutenant Edmund Sydney Howells who fell during WW1 and another in memory of Lieutenant-Commander Frederick Harold Williams, who fell during WW2. A framed religious picture bears the name of Lieutenant Tom Cecil Haydn Berry, who fell in France in 1918. The Rood Screen also serves as a War memorial, being carved with the names of the parishioners who fell during the Great War. There is also a fine parchment memorial book, bearing the names of the men who fell during World War Two, and a separate plaque for William Thomas Prior. The most striking of the memorials is the Altar of Remembrance, which is the centrepiece to a collection of original wooden grave markers from battlefield cemeteries in France, Belgium, Iraq, and at Milford itself. These markers were collected by the church when the CWGC replaced them with the now familiar carved Portland Stone headstones in the 1920's, and were dedicated at a service in the Church in July 1924. The photographs of the memorials are all courtesy of Mike Berrell." Text Source: (
