Monument plaque to 2nd Lieutenant B. R. H. Carter of the RFC, son of the rector of this parish.
"2nd Lieutenant B. R. H. Carter had stalled his engine on landing and been killed, the notice sent to his father, the rector of Slimbridge Rev. James Octavius Holderness Carter. To comfort those who had lost loved ones, only to comfort your own family.
His son’s Captain wrote to say that he had just earned his ‘wings’ – so it seems no finer place to lie than in the flight lines of the birds.
True love by life, true love by death… His son’s name stands on the Slimbridge memorial."
