COMMEMORATIVE CHAIRS & CUSHIONS

Ypres - Belgium

In St George's Memorial Church there is a display cabinet listing the donors of those chairs which could not be found when the chairs were returned to the church after WWII. Many of the commemorative chairs remain however, filling the main body of the church. On the backs of these chairs are brass plates... some to individuals of all ranks, some on behalf of associations, and some to regiments.
The cushions on the chairs show the insignia of many regiments, sometimes more modern than those who fought in the WWI- for example the SAS. At least one chair plaque commemorates a man who died in the WWII- perhaps a Great War veteran.
