At this stage the committee did not seem to see any contradiction between the need for a non-denominational site and the use of St John’s, an Anglican church. Their main concern was the likely cost, which, if all the names were to be engraved on brass, would be ‘considerable’. As an alternative, Lt Col Evill suggested a smaller brass plate inside the church with the words ‘To the memory of officers and men of the 1st Monmouthshire regiment who fell etc.’ plus, underneath the plate, a vellum book containing a detailed list of names and places where each was killed and ‘a statue to be erected in some public place on the base of which names of all ranks who fell would be engraved’. This proposal met with general agreement and a sub-committee was appointed to deal with the matter.
