Talk:Memorial tablets to the British Empire dead of the First World War

Belgian inscription
The inscription is recorded in the article (and elsewhere on the web) as in bello praetor, which would be in the great war. However, the actual inscription says in bello praeter; praeter is more than, whereas praetor is great.

The translation therefore might be something like "more than one million men who fell in the war", not "the one million men who fell in the great war". I find it difficult to believe that such a serious mistake would be made by Ware and Sadler, or that the word praeter would be transliterated as praetor by anybody who knew what they were talking about. To my mind this is a potential error. AGK [•] 17:21, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * It may or may not be an error (the number was more than a million, with "one million" being used as a headline figure - it depends what exactly the Latin inscription should be translating as). Thanks, though, for spotting this - I should have checked more carefully that the memorial databases I used as sources had transcribed the inscriptions accurately. I've made some corrections to the Latin inscription here. I will need to double-check the other ones as well. Carcharoth (talk) 00:11, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

St George's Church, Baghdad
Not strictly related to this article, but the story of St George's Church, Baghdad, is inspiring. While looking around their website, I spotted the tablet visible in the photo here. It is on the wall in the left background. There is an article on the church's vicar, the Vicar of Baghdad: Andrew White (priest). There is probably enough for a Wikipedia article on the church itself as well (founded 1864, current building built in 1936). The other churches or cathedrals on the list without Wikipedia articles are the Church of the Ascension in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and two of the ones in France and one of the ones in Belgium. The ones in France and Belgium have French-wikipedia articles: fr:Église Saint-Vaast de Béthune, fr:Basilique Saint-Quentin, fr:Collégiale Sainte-Waudru de Mons. All five could have en-Wikipedia articles at some point. Carcharoth (talk) 02:12, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Missing photos
Having recently found two images of tablets (they had been around for ages but not spotted for some reason), there are now 14 photos of tablets. These are the 19 tablets with photos still missing (the total in the table is 32): Those marked with an asterisk are not present in the external links. Carcharoth (talk) 17:02, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
