Description
The Dunkirk Parish War Memorial was unveiled on 25 July 1919. It is made of rough-hewn granite and features a Celtic cross set upon a tapered plinth and a three-stepped base.
The plinth is inscribed with "IN MEMORIAM," followed by the names of individuals who died in the First World War, which continue onto the first step below the plinth. The second step has the inscription "THEY NOBLY FELL SO WE MIGHT LIVE/1914-1918," along with the dates 1939-1945 and the names of those who perished in the Second World War. Below this is a substantial tapered, randomly-coursed stone base.
