Richard Formby
Brass Plaque on the wall of St. Luke's
Richard Formby was Katherine McNabb's brother, and local knowledge suggests that he was a professional soldier. He was a Marine Captain, killed on 22 May 1941 serving on HMS Gloucester in the Battle of Crete. The Gloucester was a cruiser built in 1939, and bombed by German aircraft.
His memorial, above, is along the South wall of the church, and close to Colin McNabb's memorial.
