The WW1 names are on scrolls around the base. One scroll is headed "civilians." They continued the tradition on the WW2 scrolls with a civilian scroll again.
The song has had a few outings now, and has been well received by Hertford audiences. It earned me a free drink from the manager of the Hertford Club, which is broadly comparable to a double winning of a Nobel Prize.
"It bigger was than Salisbury Square" True, but the shape is wrong. I now sing "..than All Saints Church." All Saints Church was by far the most imposing building in the town (there is little left of our castle) and one of those killed in Bull Plain was the organist there.
