Alvescot War Memorial Cross (2) - inscription, Main Road, Alvescot, Oxon
The inscription reads:- "To the glory of God and in grateful memory of the men of Alvescot who fell in the Great War 1914 - 1918. Greater love hath no man than this".
According to the War Memorial Archive website, the memorial also records the names of ten men who died in the First World War (Great War) and two who died in the Second. It also apparently gives the dates of the latter (1939-1945). If this is correct (and sometimes the WMA isn't) then these details must be on the reverse of the memorial. There is also a Roll of Honour in the local church which has about 70 names. The WMA doesn't know what wars this covers, possibly it could include the Boer War and others?
