Title: Next of Kin Memorial Plaque - "George Taylor"

Description: In October 1917 it was announced in The Times newspaper that a commemorative scroll would be issued to the Next of Kin in addition to the bronze plaque. This image of a bronze plaque is actually named "George Taylor" but there is no supporting evidence to connect it to George Taylor of Waterfoot.
