This memorial to the Old Contemptibles is located on the south wall of St. Edward's church, to the right of the panels commemorating those who died in the First World War:
| MONS MARNE AISNE YPRES Old Contemptibles In Memory of the Romford |
A Lieutenant Eric A. Wright is commemorated on the panels in the church, and on the Romford War Memorial. According to his Commonweath War Graves Commission Record of Commemoration he was the son of Alfred Wright, who was, I believe, one of Romford's doctors (this would make sense, as Eric Wright was serving with the Royal Army Medical Corps. when he died, aged 36, on 21 June 1915).
