Description
The war memorial located in Margate Cemetery was built around 1920. It features an octagonal stone cross with an iron cross placed on top, all set on an octagonal plinth that is raised on two octagonal steps. The inscription on the plinth states, "This Cross of Sacrifice was one in design and intention with those which have been set up in France and Belgium and other places throughout the world where our dead of the Great War are laid to rest. Their name liveth for evermore."
