All Saints Memorial Plaque

Memorial Plaque

Published in November 1917 in the Hastings and St Leonards Pictorial Advertiser, the caption with the original photo read ‘The parents of the late Lance Sergeant R F Canning commemorated the anniversary of his death in France by hanging a beautiful wreath to the roll of honour in All Saint’s Street on the 14th November.’

A photograph and further information about Walter Robert Frank Canning can be seen here.

The two photographs used to create the image, and the final combined image are below. You can view the top image full size on my Flickr page by clicking on it.

This image is part of a continuing series of Then and Now images I’ve created for East Sussex Council’s World War 1 commemoration website. The website is focused on the contribution that the men and women of East Sussex made towards the war effort.
