Stratford-upon-Avon War Memorials

I seem not to have posted this before even though I took the photogaphs in April 2012.
Stratford-upon-Avon has two civic war memorials, one for the Great War, moved to near the river from its original location, and another for the Second World War on a wall nearby.
Great War Memorial:-
World War 2 memorial:-
This web page shows the memorials’ relative dispositions.
On another nearby wall is King Edward’s School Boat Club War Memorial – for both wars:-
Between the Great War Memorial and the Second World War Memorial lies a memorial to an individual. I’m afraid I can no longer remember whom it commemorates and the writing is too indistinct to make out when magnified.
