Description
The War Memorial to the Machine Gun Corps (Cavalry) is a First World War memorial dedicated in February 1921. It was likely relocated in the late 20th century, and the designer is currently unknown.
Made of Portland stone, the memorial is situated just inside the main gates of Cheriton Road Cemetery. It features a cenotaph design topped with a shroud. On the front face, beneath the shroud, is a bronze crest of the Machine Gun Corps. Below the crest, the dedication reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD & IN MEMORY OF THE 39 OFFICERS AND 458 WARRANT OFFICERS, NON COMMISSIONED OFFICERS & MEN OF THE MACHINE GUN CORPS (CAVALRY) WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919 ‘THE SUPREME SACRIFICE’."
