Description
The Keenley and Broadside War Memorial is located in a semi-circular enclosure to the south of the roadside, directly opposite Burn Tongues Farm. The enclosure features a coursed stone wall at the front, complete with piers, railings, and a gate, and is accessed from the road by a set of steps.
Constructed from local stone sourced from Kiln Green, the memorial consists of a small cross that rises from a moulded collar atop a tapering shaft, which is square in plan. The shaft is positioned on the corniced top of a pedestal, which in turn rests on a two-stage base, all of which is set on a stone step. The front face of the upper stage of the base features a wreath encircling a sheathed sword, carved in low relief.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the pedestal reads: "TO/THE MEMORY OF THE YOUNG MEN/ OF KEENLEY AND BROADSIDE/ WHO SERVED IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914-1919, OF WHOM THE FOLLOWING/ SIX MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE./ (NAMES)/ GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT/ A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS." The names of those who served and returned are inscribed on the sides of the pedestal.
