About the memorial: Freestanding war memorial cross with raised inscriptions around the base and on the plinth. Previously names were incised into the plinth of the cross but these have faded over time. The inscription is now almost completely illegible; the following list is reproduced from a report of the dedication in the Barnet Press of the 4th June 1921.This is in the churchyard of St James the Great in Friern Barnet Lane. It has the form of a churchyard cross, the work of Martin Travers of Fulham. Names were invited of all soldiers, sailors, airmen or nurses who died on active service, and who were living at the time of their enlistment in the Ecclesiastical Parish of St James and St John, Friern Barnet, or who were habitual worshippers at either of these churches. It was not restricted to Church members. The memorial was dedicated in 1921 by the Rector of Friern Barnet, the Revd Edward Gage Hall.

The shrine will be erected beneath the flagstaff on which the Union Jack will be hoisted.” The list was for all, irrespective of rank or creed, and was “intended to represent all who have joined the colours, whether serving at home or abroad or discharged as medically unfit for further service.” The magazine for August listed eighty-three names on the Roll. More were added in subsequent months, bringing the final total to two hundred and seventy-one. An asterisk indicated those who had died.
