Coldmeece War Memorial

The inscription on the front face of the plinth reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN GLORIOUS AND GRATEFUL/ MEMORY OF ALL THOSE WHO FOR KING/ AND COUNTRY GAVE THEIR LIVES IN/ THE GREAT WAR/ THIS MEMORIAL HAS BEEN ERECTED BY/ THE PARENTS OF ONE WHO FELL IN ACTION/ AT THE BATTLE OF NEUVE CHAPELLE IN/ FRANCE ON THE 11TH MARCH 1915.
