Carl's Cam: War Memorial, Methodist Church, Mottram-St-Andrew, Cheshire.

The frame is fitted with a pair of wooden doors or shutters on which is written in gold paint the names of all those of the area who served in the first world war. Unfortunately the paint is faded. The names are not easy to read. I have been unable to transcribe them.
