Description
The War Memorial to the 5th Northumberland Fusiliers is located at the center of Walker Park. It is a tapering pylon, approximately 5 meters tall and rectangular in shape, constructed from coursed freestone. The top of the pylon features a moulded band, and it stands on a three-stepped base with a plinth that projects forward to form a panel inscribed with the words "DULCE ET DECORUM/ EST/ PRO PATRIA MORI."
At the front of the pylon, there is a dark stone plaque that has replaced the original bronze panel. This plaque reads: "THE FIFTH BATTALION/ NORTHUMBERLAND FUSILIERS/ IN MEMORY OF THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF/ THE BATTALION WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR/ THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ AND THOSE OFFICERS AND MEN OF/ THE ROYAL NORTHUMBERLAND FUSILIERS/ AND THE ROYAL REGIMENT OF FUSILIERS/ WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES IN CONFLICTS SINCE/ ERECTED BY MEMBERS/ AND FRIENDS OF THE BATTALION/ 'QUO FATA VOCANT'/ (WHITHER THE FATES CALL)/ THE ROLL OF HONOUR IS HELD IN/ WALKER PARISH CHURCH." Additionally, there is a further stone plaque at the top of the pylon that depicts the regimental badge, which has also replaced the original bronze casting.
