Description
The Mildenhall War Memorial is located in the center of King Street, at the junction with Kingsway, making it a prominent feature along a major route through Mildenhall. Made of Portland stone and granite, the memorial features a soldier figure standing at ease with a rifle, facing north. This figure is mounted on a square column that is raised on three stages and set on a square, stepped base. Surrounding the column are eight short stone pillars connected by metal chains. Polished granite panels adorn all four sides of the column, with a dedication on the north side that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE TWO WORLD WARS 1914 – 1918 1939 – 1945 THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE." The names of those who fell in the First World War are inscribed on the east and west sides, while the names from the Second World War are on the south side.
