To the Glory of God

In Loving Memory of
Lieutent Commander
Edgar Christopher Cookson. V.C:D.S.O:R.N.
of H.M.S. Clio.
Killed in action Sept. 28. 1915 Aged 31.
He was shot down while endeavouring single-handed
to destroy with an axe the boom placed by the enemy
across the river Tigris near Kut-el-Amara.

For this act of most conspicuous gallantry
His Majesty King George V conferred on him
the Victoria Cross

From his childhood he knew and loved this Church:
it is fitting then that his name should be commemorated
on these walls.

"This is the happy warrior: this is he
that every man in arms should wish to be."
