The First World War Memorial in St. Hilda's RC Church, Whitby
is a brass plaque commemorating 24 names of those who lost their lives in
that war.
The plaque is in a dark, unlit, area at the back of the church. This made
it extremely difficult to photograph. However, large sized images of the commemorations
are attached, so that names can be read from the photos.
