Description
The Captain Eric Lubbock memorial is a First World War memorial located within the former walled kitchen garden, next to the northern boundary wall, in High Elms Country Park.
This memorial is made of Portland stone and is designed in the shape of a monoplane, featuring the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) roundel painted on the upper surface of each wing end. In the center of the wing, there is a circular recess intended to hold floral tributes. Behind this recess, an oval bronze plaque is attached at a raised angle to the fuselage of the plane. The plaque is adorned with palm branches at the bottom and the RFC badge at the top.
The main dedication is prominently displayed in raised lettering at the center of the plaque, which reads: CAPTAIN/ ERIC FOX PITT LUBBOCK/ R.F.C:M.C./ SON OF JOHN BARON AVEBURY/ AND ALICE HIS WIFE/ BORN/ 16 MAY 1893/ KILLED IN ACTION 11 MAR. 1917/ BURIED AT POPERINGHE/ BELGIUM. Additionally, there is an incised inscription around the inner edge of the plaque that states, BEING MADE PERFECT IN A LITTLE WHILE HE FULFILLED LONG YEARS.
