In memory of those associated with St James' Church who gave their lives in the Great War. ‘Brothers: [583] 2nd Lt Geoffrey Servante CHAMPION, 4th Bn, killed in action, Pozieres, France, 25 July 1916; Lt Arthur CHAMPION, 1st Bn, returned to Australia, 9 September 1916. Originally recorded as having no known grave. A Memorial Cross was erected in his memory at Outtersteene Communal Cemetery, where, according to a letter from Base Records to his father, 15 April 1925, 'his remains are believed to be buried'. The remains of four Australian soldiers were unearthed by a French farmer in March 2003. Two of the men have been identified with a reasonable degree of certainty as Christopher CHAMPION and 5665 Pte Ernest CORBY. [DNA testing was not possible in the case of Champion because no surviving relatives could be traced.] The four soldiers were buried on 22 April 2005 in a ceremony attended by Chief of Army, LT General Peter Leahy.
