Memorial to Private George Wallace Jackson, Carlton in Lindrick

The memorial to Private George Wallace Jackson is located in the churchyard of the Grade I listed Church of St John the Evangelist. It commemorates his death in the First World War. The memorial features a stone statue of an infantryman in uniform, complete with his pack, standing on the moulded top of a tall stone pedestal, which has a square base. Notably, the infantryman’s head, right hand, and rifle are missing. The monument is surrounded by railings supported by four corner posts.

The front face of the pedestal bears a dedicatory inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY OF PTE GEORGE WALLACE JACKSON. 2/5 SHERWOOD FORESTERS.
