St Sampson's Churchyard, Guernsey

The wall plaque commemorates parishioners who lost their lives as a result of the war and were buried in the churchyard.

Unfortunately, on 29th August 1969, seven of the eight graves were dislodged in a rock fall from the South West corner of the churchyard, and fell into Longue Hougue Quarry. A Celtic cross and an engraved stone in the churchyard commemorate all those whose graves were lost.
