About the memorial: St. Wilfrid's Memorial Hospital - Previously in the War Memorial Room which was on the right of the main entrance to the hospital. Currently on the wall of the passage leading to the chapel in Hexham General Hospital. The WW1 Board is a wooden board set into a purpose-built stone surround (in the old hospital). At the top is an integral carved laurel wreath, above which the words "Roll of Honour" are written in an arch in black lettering with red shadowing. On either side of the wreath are the dates "1914" and "1918" each in a scroll. Names are listed in three columns, using black Roman capitals with red initials. At the bottom is another scroll bearing the words "Is it nothing to all ye who pass by" . The board is set into a panel, flanked on either side by narrow panels bearing the names of those who subscribed to the hospital. Over all is a lintel, set into the plaster wall, which bears the dedication, incised in the plaster and painted gold. On either side of the board is a narrower board which gives names by year. These are said to be the names of either the Chairmen of the Hospital Committee or the main donors of funds to the hospital. The inscriptions are all in upper case lettering, with red initials. Facing the board is a glass case holding the Standard of the British Legion, which was superseded when the Legion became the Royal British Legion in 1971. The WW2 board is made of three vertical panels framed with a very narrow plain frame. Names are painted in black serif capitals, with initial letters painted in red, in three columns. The words "Roll of Honour" are in black shadowed with red. The dates "1939" and "1945" are also in black shadowed with red, each inside a scroll.
