About the memorial: Oblong shaped red sandstone pillar constructed of dressed stone blocks. Carved cross surmounted on pillar. There were originally no names on the memorial; the slate tablets commemorating those who had fallen in the First World War and Second World War were added in 2000. A further name, Arthur Henry Jarand, was added in 2006 at the request of Viscountess Gort. The memorial was unveiled on Sunday 09 May 1920 by Mr Robert Moore of Ballachurry. It was dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Sodor and Mann and sponsored by public subscription. The site was given by Mr J.T. Martin, Ballavale. During the unveiling ceremony, special reference was made to Mr G.F. Clucas, Speaker of the House of Keys, who laboured unceasingly towards the commemoration of Santon's heroes. The memorial was originally located on the main Douglas to Castletown Road at its junction with the east side bordering Ballavale. Over time, increased traffic on the road made the Remembrance Sunday service difficult and it was necessary to widen the road. The memorial was moved to its current location in 1975.
