War Memorial At St Aloysius School

The war memorial at St Aloysius School dates from after 1918 and was designed by an unknown mason or designer. It is a memorial featuring a Carrara marble relief of the crucifixion, set between Corinthian colonnettes and within a cross-shaped gable. The relief is on a stepped, moulded base which includes the inscription ‘TO THE SACRED AND LOVING MEMORY OF THE ALOYSIANS WHO GAVE THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR. 1914-1918. AT SEA, ON LAND, AND IN THE AIR. DUTY WELL DONE: REST WELL WON. REMEMBER THEM IN YOUR THOUGHTS. REMEMBER THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS.’ Flanking panels list casualties from the First World War on the left and those of the Second World War on the right. The memorial is contained within a wrought iron screen. It is an unusual form of school war memorial, resembling a wayside calvary.
