Description
Alsager War Memorial is a tribute featuring a sandstone carved figure of a First World War serviceman in full uniform, carrying a rifle with a bayonet. The statue is mounted on a granite column that stands on a three-stepped base. The column is adorned with a band of carved foliate design, and on three faces, it displays incised and painted black lettering listing the names of those who lost their lives in the First World War.
The inscription on the north-west face reads: "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF / THE ALSAGER MEN / WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914 – 1919 / (NAMES) / THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES / UNTO THE DEATH REV XII XI."
The south-east face features the inscription: "ALSO IN GRATEFUL MEMORY / OF THE ALSAGER MEN / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / FOR THEIR COUNTRY / IN THE WORLD WAR / 1939 – 1945 / (NAMES)." This face also includes a cast representation of the Town Arms.
