Inscription
Outside the church of St. Bartholomew-the-Great in West Smithfield, London, Sir Aston Webb and his colleagues installed a memorial to parish members who'd been killed in the war, including Webb's son Philip. This image shows the main dedication, and the forward-facing side of the stone. At some later point, Lt. Cuthbert Savage's name was added to the list of losses, but since there was no room left on the front face, his name is carved on the side of the monument, as shown in my next image. -
Memorial
Lt. Savage's name carved into the side of the WWI monument, on the Smithfield Gate, leading into the church of St. Bartholomew-the-Great. His father, Rev. Sidney Savage, was the rector of the church for many years. -
