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: Non freestanding
Location: Internal
Setting: Attached to a building/structure
Description: Board/Plaque/ Tablet
Materials:
  • Stone Marble
Lettering: Incised
Conflicts:
  • First World War (1914-1918)
About the memorial: Wall mounted rectangular marble tablet with base shelf and triangular pediment. The inscription is inlaid in black roman capitals. Note the unveiling report in the Isle of Wight County Press of 27 November 1920 reported eight names, without specifying them. However there are now 9 names, all in alphabetical order. It seems likely that this was an error in the reporting of the time, such errors are surprisingly common.
