HMS Tigris was a T-class submarine :-

"Tigris left Malta on 18 February 1943 to patrol off Naples.

She was last sighted at 0730 on 24 February, 39 miles (63 km) from Capri.

On the morning of 27 February, the German submarine chaser Uj-2210 , escorting a convoy six miles southeast of Capri, made contact with a submarine and carried out three depth charge attacks, the third attack brought oil to the surface and the contact was noted to be stationary.

A fourth attack of fifteen depth charges brought a huge bubble of air up.

On 6 March, Tigris was ordered to Algiers but there was no reply to this signal.

She failed to return to Algiers on 10 March 1943 and was declared overdue on that date"

"BLYTON, A strange spectacle awaits the traveller who enters its church, a spectacle to which kings and presidents have contributed', an impressive display of the flags of the Allies in the First World War.

It began with a mother whose son died in France; she wanted a French flag for the church.

Then the mother of a son who fell in Belgium wished for a Belgium flag.

So it was that the vicar of those sad years set himself the task of collecting the flags of the Allies for his church.

King Albert sent the Belgium flag, and the French president sent the Tricolor.

Admiral Beatty sent an ensign flown at Jutland, and the Viceroy of India, and the Governors of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa sent Empire flags.

The Kings of Italy, Serbia and Rumania responded, and so did the Emperor of Japan, whose country was a friend of Britain then.

The American flag came from President Wilson, and the Portuguese flag came with special affection from the, President of the republic, for it was from Blyton that Sister , Margaret went out to matron the Portuguese hospital in France, when she was decorated with one of Portugal's ancient orders"

A list of village men who served in the First World War created in an elaborate fretwork panel hangs on the south wall of the nave. This was created by a local craftsman, Arthur Glover.

The names are ordered by length of name, not alphabetically.

A rather unusual war memorial high on the north wall of the nave. Created in dark material and in a church with little natural light at the west end, it is very difficult to read from ground level. I believe the decoration above the text is a frond of yew, with three small sprigs across it.

There were no communication trenches leading to the trench, and several men had already been killed in an attempt to reach it.

After crossing an area of about 400 yards swept by machine-gun and rifle fire, Lance-Corporal Parker was alone, the rest of the party having been killed or wounded.

"The Second Boer War (11 October 1899 - 31 May 1902) was fought between the British Empire and two independent Boer states, the South African Republic (Republic of Transvaal) and the Orange Free State, over the Empire's influence in South Africa.

The trigger of the war was the discovery of diamonds and gold in the Boer states.

The war is also known as the Boer War, Anglo-Boer War, or South African War.

Initial Boer attacks were successful, and although British reinforcements later reversed these, the war continued for years with Boer guerrilla warfare, until harsh British counter-measures including a scorched earth policy brought the Boers to terms"

"To the Memory of WILLIAM CUST Esq. a brave, & Judicious SEA-OFFICER, Who, after having signalized himself in a Series of dangerous & successful Enterprises, Was unfortunately killed by a Cannon-Ball, Mar : 8, 1747:

While Commander of a small Sloop he was remarkably active in destroying the Enemy's Privateers; & after chasing into CHERBOURGH a French Ship of superior Force, he cut it out from that Harbour under a continual Fire from the Batteries. For this Action he was advanc'd to the Command of the BOSTON Man of War, stationed in NEW-ENGLAND, but, before he could take Possession of that Ship, was engaged at ye Request of ADMIRAL KNOWLES in the Expedition against PORT LOUIS on Board the ELIZABETH wch. began the Attack. He behaved with uncommon Presence of Mind in the Heat of the Battle, where his Family and Country were at once deprived of a great Honour and Ornament to both.

He was in every Relation of private Life most amiable; In all that concerned his Country truly great : And completed his Course of Life and Glory. In the 28th Year of his Age,

He was 2d. Son of Sr. RICHARD CUST Bart. by ANNE BROWNLOWE Sifter to the Right Honorable LD. VISCT. TYRCONNEL, Who places this as a Testimony of his great Affection for his Nephew, and Concern for so public a Loss."

Local signage states " This monument to William Cust was sculpted by Sir Henry Cheere (1703-1781). He was based in Westminster and eight other monuments by him are to be found in Westminster Abbey ...

The monument cost £250 and its commission was not without difficulty. After several attempts, the family were satisfied with the bust's likeness to William. There were no photographs for comparison and William was buried at sea.

The wording of the epitaph in the sarcophagus was changed as late as December 1749 before the monument was erected in Grantham. The second paragraph was increased from 71 words (as reported in the Derby Mercury account) to the 119 words squeezed into the extant monument. This may well have been the influence of Lord Tyrconnel in extolling his nephew's achievements."

After the assault on the German position by the 24th Battalion, London Regt, efforts were made by that Unit to follow up their success by a bomb attack, during the progress of which 58 men out of a total 75 became casualties.

During this very fierce encounter Lance-Cpl Keyworth stood fully exposed for 2 hours on the top of the enemy's parapet, and threw about 150 bombs amongst the Germans, who were only a few yards away.

* London Gazette, 2 July 1915

This memorial relates to a Lancaster of 625 squadron from RAF Kelstern. It took off at 06.28 hours bound for a raid on Duisburg on the Rhine. Fully fuelled and with a full bomb load it posed a huge danger to the villages of the Lindsey marsh as the pilot struggled to get it airborne. Realising the task was hopeless he ordered all crew to eject and stayed at the controls to keep in the air until he had cleared Fotherby and Little Grimsby. The plane crashed in a field to the east of St Edith’s church killing the pilot. The bomb aimer’s parachute had failed to open. The two fatalities are buried in Harrogate Stonefall Cemetery. The crew were all Canadian apart from Robert Bennett. Darrel Paige was on a training flight.

The text reads: FROM THE VILLAGERS OF LITTLE GRIMSBY/ AND FOTHERBY IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE/ OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CREW OF/ "Q” QUEENIE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO/ GAVE THEIR LIVES TO SAVE THE VILLAGES/ ON 14th OCTOBER 1944/ LLOYD A.
