Description
The Guide Post War Memorial is approximately 3.5 meters tall and is located on a grassy area along Morpeth Road. It is constructed from red sandstone sourced from the Doddington quarries. The memorial features a small wheel-head cross atop a tapering shaft, which is set on the pedimented top of the plinth. The base of the plinth is supported by a three-stepped base.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "THEY LIVED AND DIED LIKE BRITONS/ FOR KING AND COUNTRY/ ERECTED/ IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL/ REMEMBRANCE OF THE MEN/ CONNECTED WITH/ GUIDE POST, CHOPPINGTON/ WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ AND WHOSE NAMES ARE/ INSCRIBED HEREON/ 1914 - 1919 / 1939 – 1945." The names of those commemorated from both conflicts are inscribed on the faces of the plinth and its base.
