A quote from Ecclesiasticus 44:14 appears on the WW1 Memorial Plaque located on the wall inside St Chad's Church on Main Road in the village of Wybunbury.
The plaque commemorates the service men who lost their lives in the First World War (1914- 1918).

The quote can be seen in context below;

"Ecclesiasticus 44:14 Context
11With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant.
12Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their sakes.
13Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not be blotted out.
14Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.
15The people will tell of their wisdom, and the congregation will shew forth their praise.
16Enoch pleased the Lord, and was translated, being an example of repentance to all generations.
17Noah was found perfect and righteous; in the time of wrath he was taken in exchange for the world; therefore was he left as a remnant unto the earth, when the flood came." SOURCE: (visit link)

"It was Rudyard Kipling who chose the inscription “Their name liveth for evermore.” that can be found on many different memorials.
Kipling, who had lost a son in the war, wanted to use the full passage: “Their bodies are buried in peace, but their name liveth for evermore,” but the Imperial War Graves Commission removed the first sentence. Was it because they found it too ironic to mention burials “in peace” bearing in mind the nature of the deaths? Probably, but the members of the Commission had another, more immediate, concern in mind: They thought it would be too easy to add an “s” to peace, making it sound like “pieces,” in what would’ve been in poor taste for many despite being a much more realistic description of the fate of the thousands during the war."
