About the memorial: The war memorial in the village of Keele in north west Staffordshire is a cross on a slim pillar, on an elaborate base. There is tracery between the arms of the cross and there are small shields carved in relief at the top of buttresses around the plinth. These shields represent the Stafford knot, an ancient symbol of the county, the religious monogram IHS, the cross of St George and the crest of the Sneyd family, the local landowners. The memorial stands on a three-stepped base in a gravelled area adjacent to the lychgate at the church of St John.
