The War Memorials Online website describes this memorial as follows:
"Wall-mounted brass plaque. Pitched at top. Wooden mount. Incised black and red lettering. Red incised cross at top centre. (cIWM) The memorial's name has been changed here to bring it in line with the name applied to it in the Isle of Man National Inventory of War Memorials (Ref IOM_NIWM_GER_00012). Taking photographs of this memorial wasn't easy due to the lighting and shadows on the polished brass. Apologies for the picture quality." (visit link)
