The memorial was unveiled by Colonel Sir Lancelot Rolleston KCB DSO and dedicated by the rector, Rev AE Wynne, on 10 June 1921. Nottingham Evening Post, 11 June 1921: ‘Carlton’s Tribute. Memorial tablets unveiled in St Paul’s Church. At a singularly impressive and symbolic service last evening the memorial which has been erected in St Paul’s Church, Carlton, to the 107 men of the parish who made the supreme sacrifice during the war was unveiled and dedicated. The memorial takes the form of two large tablets of white marble in recesses of the wall at the western end of the nave. At the top of each are the words, ’Our dead, by whom we live’, then follow the names of the fallen, and at the foot of each tablet is the immortal line from Ecclesiastes, ‘Their name liveth for ever more.’ The memorial was dedicated by the rector (the Rev AE Wynne), and the tablets were unveiled by Colonel Sir Lancelot Rolleston KCB DSO. The Rev JH Webb DD and the Rev TC Kemp also took part in the service. After Chopin’s ‘Marche Funebre’ had been played on the organ the hymn, ‘There is a blessed home’ was sung, and the service of Evensong followed. The anthem ‘Blest are the departed’ from Spohr’s ‘Last Judgement’ was sung by the choir, and a procession was subsequently made to the west end of the church.’ (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk)
