Second World War Parchment Honour Roll - St. Paul's Church - Ramsey, Isle of Man - World War II Memorials / Monuments on Waymarking.com

This wooden-framed illuminated parchment honour roll can be found in St. Paul's Church in Ramsey. This honour roll is close to the framed parchment honour roll for those who gave their lives in WWI which hangsbelow a small crucifix.

The honour roll is decorated with crests of the 'The Three Legs of Man' and a 'Raven' at the top, and poppy flowers alongside the outer columns of names.

The wording of the honour roll is as follows:
:In
Memory
of the men of
Ramsey
who died in World War II 1939-46"

Below this are three columns of names (49 in total and the military ranks of those men when they died).

As the base of the honour roll in Manx Gaelic are the following words:
"Tha jean ad gaase shenn,
Myr ta shin ta faagit, gasse shenn" ("This translates as "They shall not grow old, as those who are left grow old")

The Manx Gaelic is a slight misquote of a line from the poem "For the Fallen" by Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), published in The Times newspaper on 21 September 1914. (visit link)
