Description

The south face of the memorial has a dedicatory inscription that reads: "IN MEMORY OF THE MEN/ OF EAST AND WEST/ WRETHAM/ WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WARS/ 1914-1918/ 1939-1945." The north face states: "THEIR NAME/ LIVETH/ FOR/ EVERMORE." The other faces display lists of names that are incised into the stone.
At the base of the plinth, there is a slate plaque that commemorates the visit of the 359th Fighter Group in 1985. The plaque reads: "THIS PLAQUE COMMEMORATES/ THE VISIT BY SURVIVORS OF THE/ 359TH FIGHTER GROUP/ IN REMEMBRANCE OF THOSE/ WHO SERVED AND DIED IN/ THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM/ 3RD AUGUST 1985."
