Description
MATERIALS: Granite memorial with bronze sculpture and plaques.
DESCRIPTION: Eastbourne War Memorial stands on the roundabout at the top of Devonshire Place. It consists of a tall square pedestal which supports a bronze figure of the Angel of Victory, standing with one foot on a wreathed globe and holding aloft a sword and wreath. The pedestal has a stepped top above a cavetto cornice, with bronze mounts of winged cherubic heads on the top corners and dolphins on the bottom, and a moulded base. There is a bronze wreath between the cherubs on the front south face over a bronze plaque with raised lettering reading THE TRIBUTE OF/ EASTBOURNE/ TO HER GALLANT/ SONS AND DAUGHTERS/ WHO WERE FAITHFUL/ UNTO DEATH/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/ THEIR NAMES/ ARE RECORDED/ ON OAK TABLETS/ IN THE TOWN HALL. The plinth has a moulded base and stands on two steps.
A matching plaque has been added to the north face with WORLD/ WAR/ II within a wreath and below THOSE WHO DIED/ 1939 – 1945 WE/ WILL/ REMEMBER THEM.
A mismatched plaque for subsequent conflicts, with a gilded border, wreath and lettering, has been added on the east side.
