Description
The Damerham War Memorial is located prominently by the village hall in East End, Damerham, within a small hedged garden. It features a stone Latin cross atop a tapered column, which stands on a four-level hexagonal plinth consisting of two deep levels and two shallower levels. This is set on a square stone base. A carved stone shield with the monogram 'IHS' is attached to the shaft.
Inscriptions and names are carved on the south faces of the plinths. The uppermost inscription reads: "IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF OUR MEN WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918." The lower face states: "ALSO OF OUR OFFICERS AND MEN WHO FELL IN THE WAR OF 1939-1945." The north face bears the inscription: "GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS."
In total, 18 names from the First World War and six from the Second World War are recorded on the memorial. Additionally, a slate plaque was later added beside the front of the cross, repeating the names and words inscribed on the south faces of the plinth.
