Description
The Almeley War Memorial is a First World War memorial designed by sculptor William G Storr Barber and was erected in 1919. It was later altered to include additional names following the Second World War.
The memorial is made of Portland stone and features a statue of a First World War infantry soldier with his head bowed, holding an inverted rifle and helmet. The soldier stands on a high, square-section stone plinth that is set on a two-stepped square stone platform.
On the west face of the plinth, the main inscription is carved in incised lettering and reads: "THE GREAT WAR/ 1914–1918/ THIS MEMORIAL IS ERECTED BY THE/ GRATEFUL PARISH OF ALMELEY TO/ COMMEMORATE THE NAMES OF ITS/ FAITHFUL SONS WHO FOUGHT AND/ DIED FOR ENGLAND AND LIBERTY/ (19 NAMES)/." An additional inscription on the upper step of the base states: "ALSO/ 1939–1945/ (6 NAMES)/."
