About the memorial: The new Throop War Memorial was funded by donations and fund raising by residents of Throop.

Made in Portland Stone by Dane Dwight, Stone Mason, Poole. Installed at the corner of Throop Road and Taylor Drive, Throop , Bournemouth. A square surround with pebbles supports a one step square base on which is a short square column diagonal to the base. The top is sliced to create a sloping diamond shape for the "Lest we Forget" inscription. The longer inscription (see Names tab) is on the front of the base, with a band of incised poppies around the bottom of the column..
