Description
The Weybridge War Memorial is a stone structure that features a square column on a two-stepped base, topped with a carved soldier standing at ease, holding the barrel of his rifle with its butt resting by his feet. The column is adorned with an acanthus leaf capital, which is interrupted on each face by a shield that has relief carvings representing the armed forces. Each face of the column also displays a swagged laurel garland, and the names of the fallen are inscribed on three sides. The front face includes the inscription:
1914-1918 / IN MEMORY / OF THE MEN / OF / WEYBRIDGE / WHO GAVE / THEIR LIVES / IN THE / GREAT WAR / THEIR NAME / LIVETH / FOR EVERMORE
Near the base of the column, each face is inscribed with '1939 – 1945', followed by the names of those who fell in the Second World War. Additionally, on the front face of the base of the column, 'Korea 1950 – 1954' is carved, along with a single name.
