UKNIWM: 54128
Though titled Church & Parish my impression is this is in essence a church roll.
It has 6 fewer names than the civic memorial originally did (now 7).
Attractive use of different ink colours and Cove harbour photo.
A modern laminated Roll of Honour booklet is provided beneath the roll.
