Description
The Stradbroke War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1922, located at the south-west corner of the churchyard of the Church of All Saints. It is made from Aberdeen granite and features a cross within a laurel wreath, which sits atop a tapering square shaft on a substantial square plinth with a single-stepped base. The memorial is enclosed by a brick wall and can be accessed from the south-west via four paved steps.
On the south-west face of the plinth, the main inscription is in leaded lettering and reads: ‘ERECTED IN MEMORY OF / THE MEN OF THIS PARISH / WHO FOUGHT AND DIED / FOR KING, COUNTRY, LIBERTY / AND JUSTICE / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918 / GREATER LOVE HATH NO / MAN THAN THIS, / THAT A MAN LAY DOWN / HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIEND / JOHN: XV, 13’. The names of 17 men who died in the First World War are inscribed on the north-west and south-east faces of the plinth, with the name of a nurse added in 2019. Additional inscriptions also commemorate those lost in the Second World War and the war in Afghanistan.
