About the memorial: A bronze wall mounted tablet designed by Walter Gilbert (1871-1946) measuring 5 feet by 3 feet. Surmounted by a figure of Victory it shows in relief a body of British soldiers marching with a gun drawn by horses. At the sides of the tablet are palms and laurels with scrolls for the names of the battles. The inscriptions include 92 names of the fallen. A history of All Saints Church from1964 records as follows: "at the end of that unhappy period [1914-18 War] the interest of the people was focused on a War Memorial. A sum of £290 was collected and Mr Bentley of North Hill House procured from Messrs Martin a design executed by Mr Gilbert (who had designed the gates of Buckingham Palace). ...... The cost was £350 plus carriage and erection and on All Souls' Day, 1919, the Memorial to the ninety-two men of All Saints and the Calvary in the Church garden were dedicated by Dr Perrin, Bishop of Willesden." Gilbert designed many war memorials in association with Louis Weingartner (1862-1934) and from 1919 to 1924 arranged and modelled the Great Reredos in Liverpool Anglican Cathedral in association with Weingartner and machine-carved by HH Martyn of Cheltenham. It seems likely in the circumstances that Weingartner was involved in the All Saints memorial. Gilbert moved from the Bromsgrove Guild to HH Martyn in 1919 where Weingartner joined him. And one of those remembered in the memorial was a woman, Mildred Davis, daughter of Rev. Edward Smith of Dorset and widow of Capt. Reginald Noel Davis, killed in action on 12th October 1916. Mildred worked with the Croix Rouge Francaise as an ambulance driver. She died from pneumonia at Marseilles on 8 October 1918 and is buried in France.
