Sedgeberrow Parish Magazine November 1918
We greatly regret that we have to announce the deaths of four of our boys since the last notice namely, Albert Vale, Charles White, Frank Farley and Charles Jackson, of whom their parents and friends may well be proud.  We deeply sympathise with these in the loss they have sustained.  Our parish has now lost thirteen, who have all fallen in the service of their country. R.I.P.
The following is a complete list of all those who have fallen, and we hope that many will remember them in their prayers in church week by week, that they may rest in peace.
Frank Warren
Arthur Winnett
Albert Holyfield
Thomas Price
Eustace Bousfield
Charles Box
Bertram Warner
Harry Holmes
Eric Baumgarte
Albert Vale
Charles White
Frank Farley
Charles Jackson
The letters R.I.P. are the initials of three Latin words “Requescat in Pace.” Which means “May they rest in peace.”
