Description
The Streatham War Memorial features a bronze figure of a hatless serviceman, with his head bowed and hands clasped around a reversed rifle resting on his boot. The figure appears to be standing on a battlefield, surrounded by a discarded army jacket, steel helmet, and gas mask. This statue is mounted on a white tapering stone pedestal that sits on a square base. The upper part of the pedestal is carved with the words: TO / OUR GLORIOUS DEAD. Below this, there are two identical bronze wreaths, with the top one inscribed ‘1914 – 1918’ and the bottom one ‘1939 – 1945’. At the bottom section of the pedestal, there is a bronze plaque that was installed in 2010, which reads: IN HONOUR OF / THE MEN AND WOMEN OF STREATHAM / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE / OF THEIR COUNTRY IN TWO WORLD WARS / 1914 -1918 AND 1939-1945 / AND IN OTHER CONFLICTS / At the going down of the sun and in the morning / we will remember them / FROM THE PEOPLE OF STREATHAM 2010. The memorial is located on a small grass square that is enclosed by very low iron railings, with a short stone pillar at each corner.
