Description
The Leeman Road District First World War Memorial, built in 1925, is a sandstone cenotaph designed in a Classical style. It stands 2.3 meters tall and is surrounded by a plain paved area.
The names of the fallen servicemen are inscribed on sunken panels on three sides of the base, listed in alphabetical order by surname followed by initials. The three women are listed by their full names, centrally positioned on the front panel. The upper part of the memorial features an inscribed panel that reads:
IN PROUD
AND LOVING MEMORY
OF THE MEN AND WOMEN
OF LEEMAN ROAD DISTRICT
WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
IN THE GREAT WAR
This inscription is flanked by the carved dates 1914 and 1919, each framed by wreaths. The corners of the base are chamfered with scrolled stops, and the framing of the two front panels is also embellished.
