Description
The East Cowes Air Raid Protection (Civil Defence) Memorial is a commemorative structure erected after the Second World War to honor the members of the East Cowes Civil Defence Warden and Ambulance Service who lost their lives.
Made of limestone, the memorial features a simple Latin cross that stands on a square plinth. The top of the plinth is adorned with a carving designed to resemble rubble and includes a stone carving of items commonly used by Air Raid Precaution wardens, such as a helmet, lamp, and water bottle.
On the north-west side of the plinth, there is an inscription that reads: 'SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF (NAMES)/ KILLED ON DUTY DURING THE WAR 1939-1945/ “WE WILL REMEMBER THEM”/ ERECTED BY THEIR COMRADES OF THE CIVIL DEFENCE/ WARDEN AND AMBULANCE SERVICE EAST COWES.'
