About the memorial: The Talgarth war memorial is located in The Square with the River Enig to the rear. The memorial site is stone paved and bordered by a low wall. Fronting each side wall is a raised flower bed also made of stone. In the centre is a rough-hewn granite monolith fronted with a stone step on which the bronze plaque is located. The plaque is bordered with a floral design in relief. At the top of the plaque is a wreath design with central crucifix in relief, below which is the inscription. Set against the interior face of each side wall is a green-painted bench with scrolled arm rests. The wording makes it clear that the memorial is a post-1945 production.
