MURSTON WW2 WAR MEMORIAL
THE 1914-19 WAR MEMORIAL STAYED AS IT WAS, IT WASN'T ALTERED IN THE WAY THAT MANY OTHER WAR MEMORIALS WERE. THE MEMORIAL FOR WW2 CASUALTIES WAS MADE OF INSCRIBED MARBLE INSIDE THE CHURCH. AS IN MOST CASES IT WAS NOT AS GRAND AS THE 1914-18 ONES. ANOTHER INTERESTING OBSERVATION IS THAT THE MEN COMMEMORATED WERE ALOT OLDER THAN THEIR 1914-19 COUNTERPARTS
