Description
The War Memorial to the Third Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment is a First World War memorial. It is constructed from red brick with a tiled roof and features a limestone plaque. The memorial has a rectangular shape and is situated on a small grassed area at the edge of Horn Hill, facing north.
The structure consists of a simple red brick pier, primarily laid in English bond at the base and in stretcher bond above. The base slightly overhangs the pier on all sides and is topped with a course of chamfered bricks. Near the top of the pier, there are two oversailing corbel courses and a brick dentil course above them. The memorial is crowned with a simple brick pediment and a pitched tiled roof.
A rectangular limestone plaque is set into the front face of the memorial, surrounded by a chamfered edge. The plaque bears the inscription: IN THIS FIELD/ THE 3RD BATT./ GLOUCESTERSHIRE/ REGIMENT/ Lt Col G. H. BURGES/ COMMANDING/ WAS ENCAMPED/ DURING THE SUMMERS/ 1916 – 1917/ 1918.
