Monument Re-visited


This is the inscription at the base of the monument facing the channel (more or less east).
TO THE GORY OF GOD
AND IN EVERLASTING
REMEMBERANCE OF
THE DOVER PATROL
1914-1919
THEY DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE MAY
WE BE WORTHY OF THEIR SACRIFICE


TO THE MEMORY OF THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE ROYAL NAVY AND MERCHANT NAVY
WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN SHIPS SAILING UPON THE WATERS OF THE DOVER STRAIT
1939-1945
