Remembering

We must never forget!

This little war memorial is in our village, just by the entrance to the churchyard. On the back wall, to the left of the cross it says:

TO THE GLORY OF GOD
AND IN MEMORY OF THE
MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO
DIED IN THE GREAT WAR

On the right of the cross is a list of names. Unfortunately it's very difficult to read them now.

Chills. Excellent in every way. Easy fav.

This is one of the nicest simplest war memorials I have ever seen. Even the nicest! Love its age, no fancy frills & crucifix. Only to the Great War so a good age. Glad no one has tried to add an additional board with the Second World War names added. Not that they are any less worthy but I expect there is another one somewhere else in your village too.

[Joanne Diochon]

I agree with what Pat said. This is the loveliest war memorial I can remember seeing. It feels somehow sad but also calm. It’s less like a grand and glorious monument to the nation and more a simple and quiet reminder of the ordinary men who made the ultimate sacrifice.

[Carole Sandford]

I love the simplicity of this!

I agree with the others here, Sue. There is a moving simplicity to this memorial. Fav

I love the simplicity of this tribute too.

[Dione Giorgio]

Simple but very impressive.
