Woolworth Staff World War II Memorial

Killed in action : "They gave their lives that we might live"

 

Memoria in Aeterna.  The Woolworth War Memorial was carved in oak and inlaid with gold.  It does not include the names of the fallen.  We are proud to honour all those whose names we know.  Rest in peace.

They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old

Age shall not wither them nor the years condemn;

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We shall remember them

Rest In Peace
