War Memorials Trust case: War Memorials Trust needs to avoid Contributors changing location/description details as we help to protect and conserve this war memorial through our casework. You can still add photographs, update condition and use the tabs below. If you believe any of the information you cannot edit is wrong or information is missing, please make a note of the reference number and include it in your email when you contact us.

Status: On original site
Type: Freestanding
Location: External
Setting: Within a garden/park/churchyard/enclosure/Marketplace
Description: Obelisk
Materials:
  • Metal Bronze
  • Stone Limestone
Lettering: Incised
Conflicts:
  • First World War (1914-1918)
About the memorial: A limestone obelisk with inscriptions on limestone panels around the base and bronze panels with the names of those commemorated. Arranged at the four corners above the base are seated figures holding bronze models of a battleship, a tank, an aeroplane, and what seems to be the RAMC emblem of a snake around a staff. Therefore it seems this memorial principally recalls the service of those in the navy, RFC/RAF and the Tank Corps and RAMC.
