20th June 1921 the Nottingham Evening Post carried the following notice:
Dedication of Parish War Memorial,
‘True to their honour, St Ann’s Memorial.
The church of St Ann’s, Nottingham, was filled to its utmost capacity last evening, when a crowded congregation gathered to acknowledge the debt due to the 300 men of the parish who gave their lives in the defence of their country during the war, and to take part in the ceremony of unveiling a handsome memorial of oak panelling which has been erected round the chancel.
The unveiling was performed by the Mayor (Ald. H Bowles), who was accompanied by the Town Clerk (Mr WJ Board), the latter reading the lessons.
Others taking part in a most impressive service were the Rev HT Hayman and the Rev. M J G King (vicar).’ (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk)
