Leckhampstead War Memorial

Leckhampstead War Memorial is located in a square gravelled area on War Memorial Green, opposite the Recreation Ground and near Leckhampstead House, which is also listed as Grade II. The memorial features a tall obelisk that is square in shape, rising from a broad square plinth that stands on two low steps.

At the top of the obelisk is a clock with faces on the north and south sides. The hours are indicated by .303 cartridges and the minutes by bullets, while the clock hands are made from bayonets. On the west and east sides of the obelisk are large bronze medallions inspired by the British War Medal from 1914 to 1918. The eastern side displays the obverse of the medal, featuring the head of George V with the inscription "GEORGIUS V BRITT OMN REX ET IND IMP." The reverse on the western side depicts St George on horseback, trampling the shield of the Central Powers, with a sunburst above and skull and crossbones below, along with the inscription "1914 1918."

The plinth includes slate plaques with the following inscriptions:

On the east face: "ERECTED TO COMMEMORATE THE GREAT WAR AUGUST 1914 TO NOVEMBER 1918."

On the south face: "TO THE NOBLE DEAD (17 NAMES) PASS NOT THIS STONE IN SORROW, BUT IN PRIDE AND MAY YOU LIVE AS NOBLY AS THEY DIED."

On the north face: "THESE ALSO SERVED (72 NAMES)."

Additionally, a small tablet on the top step, located on the south side of the plinth, reads "THESE GAVE THEIR LIVES 1939-1945" followed by two names.

The obelisk is surrounded by a chain that was salvaged from a ship that participated in the Battle of Jutland, which took place from May 31 to June 1, 1916. This chain is suspended from twelve four-inch shell cases mounted on low pyramidal posts.
