Description
Holmer War Memorial is situated on Widemarsh Common and is made of limestone. The memorial features a Latin cross atop a tapering shaft, which rises from an octagonal plinth placed on a three-stepped base.
The plinth bears an inscription dedicating it to the men of Holmer who gave their lives for King and Country during the First World War, specifically from 1914 to 1918. The names of the fallen are also incised on the other sides of the plinth.
Additionally, a dedication encircles the top step, which reads: "Live thou for England as we for England died; Grant them, O Lord, eternal rest and peace; Lord of Host, be with us yet; Lest we forget – lest we forget."
