Description
The Bracknell War Memorial is a limestone structure featuring marble inset panels. It consists of an angel statue on a stepped base, which is raised on a tall Gothic plinth. The angel points upwards and holds a trumpet, while the base is adorned with a simple wreath. The plinth is designed with stepped diagonal buttresses at each corner.
The front panel of the memorial bears the inscription: 'In memory of / the men of Bracknell / and district / who gave their lives / for King and Country / in the Great War 1914-1918 / "greater love hath no man than this". The side panels both state, 'And in the World War / 1939-1945'. The rear panel features the words: 'Saith / the Angel / "these are they that have / done their duty in this world / and have won everlasting peace; / and ye also will do the same / if ye follow their good example"'.
