Badshot Lea War MemorialWilliam Garrett is listed on this memorial and started at the school on 11-4-1915. The memorial is unusual, in that it is fixed to the school wall. This is because of a dispute between the C of E and the Primitive Methodists about its location. The school was the compronise.
