Description
The Wombourne War Memorial is made of granite and features an obelisk. The front face of the obelisk is decorated with a carved relief of a Union Jack flag that wraps around to another side. The lower half of the front face includes a carved relief wreath and a collar at the base.
The obelisk is set on a two-staged plinth. The upper stage is tapered and has an inscription in black-painted letters on the front face that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF WOMBOURN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919." The lower stage bears the inscription "1939 – 1945." The names of the fallen are incised on the east and west sides of the plinth, with 39 names listed for the First World War and 16 for the Second World War.
The plinth is supported by a three-stepped base.
