- Description
- Sandstone, geometrically decorated, fleury cross on a tapered hexagonal shaft, octagonal plinth, and four step hexagonal base. The Dedications are carried on the East face, with that for the Great War on the plinth, and that for WW2 on the top step face. With the dedications on Face 1, the original Great War names began on Face 8: 1915 (2) and 1916 (3), continuing with 1917 (11) on Faces 2 and 3, 1918 (9) on Face 7, 1918 (2) and 1919 (2) on Face 6 - both in alphabetical order. Five additional names then appear to have been added soon after on Face 5: 1915 (2) and 1916 (3). Further names were added around 2016 (see images), thus: 1921 (1), Face 2; 1917 (3), Face 3; 1917 (4) and 1915 (3), Face 4; 1918 (2), Face 6; 1916 (2), Face 8. Again with the dedication on Face 1, the WW2 names are inscribed alphabetically from Faces 7 and 8 and then 2 and 3 (two each face).
