Description
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.

'WE MOURN THE LOSS OF HER WE LOVED, AND DID OUR BEST TO SAVE, BELOVED IN LIFE REGRETTED GONE, REMEMBERED IN THE GRAVE.'" The inscriptions are made with applied metal letters.
