Description
The Snodland War Memorial is a First World War memorial dedicated in 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. It is situated on concrete paving in the southeast side of Snodland Cemetery, Kent.
The memorial features a limestone cenotaph topped with a bronze laurel wreath. It stands on a two-stepped base. The front face of the cenotaph bears the inscription: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN MEMORY OF THE FOLLOWING MEN OF SNODLAND/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR HUMANITY/ IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919," with the names of the fallen from the First World War listed below.
One side of the cenotaph includes a dedication that reads: "SNODLAND/ PROUDLY REMEMBERS HER SONS/ WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE/ IN THE 1939 - 1945/ WORLD WAR/ THAT WE MIGHT LIVE IN PEACE/ (NAMES)." The opposite side is inscribed with the information: "THIS MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED/ BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION/ AND UNVEILED BY/ ADMIRAL SIR F. C. DOVETON STURDEE BT/ K.C.B..K.C.M.G..C.V.O../ ON 13 JUNE 1920."
