Greater love hath no man than this
that a man lay down his life for his friends
Grant them, O Lord, eternal rest,
and let light perpetual shine upon them.

Very fine reclining marble figure on a base in St Olav's Church
On sides of base.
We pray you commend to the mercy of God the soul of
Charles Grant Seely,
eldest son of Sir Charles Seely, Baronet, and Dame Hilda, his wife.
Born on Nov,29. 1894, and educated at Cheam, Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge,
he joined the Isle of Wight Rifles at the outbreak of the Great War.
And, after serving with distinction in the Gallipoli and Egyptian Campaigns,
fell gloriously, thrice wounded, at Gaza in Palestine
on April 19. 1917, while leading the advance upon Turkish Positions.
Greatly beloved - for he was a very gallant gentleman -
he lies in the cemetery at Gaza,
surrounded by the men of his regiment who fell with him that day
