All servicemen had an official photograph taken before being sent overseas.  The 'Wings' below the photograph came from George's dress uniform.

A wonderful memorial written and painted by Dave Keddy of Yarmouth.

Below is a transcript of the poem.  It is a bit difficult to read it in the image.

​

                                          Spirit on High

​

He went off to war and did what he had to do

    To make this world free for me and for you

Leaving behind those of family and of friends

    To fly his Spitfire in a Nation's defence

Time and time again, out on missions he flew

    Wth others of his squadron, all of which he knew

Then of that day, the telegram his family read

    Missing in action was all that it said

Two months he gave of his life in the waiting of time

    Because his plane went down behind enemy lines

The war had ended, became part of the past

    But the memories of his mind would always last

He is gone now but his spirit will always (be) near

    But now with the wings of (an) angel in the Kingdom of the Lord

​
