Weybridge War Memorial

The memorial is of stone and takes the form of a square column on a two-stepped base, surmounted by a carved soldier standing at ease, his hands holding the barrel of his rifle, its butt resting by his feet. The column has an acanthus leaf capital, broken on each face by a shield with relief carvings representing the armed forces. Below the shields each face of the column bears a swagged laurel garland and on three sides the names of the fallen. The front face bears the inscription:

1914-1918 / IN MEMORY / OF THE MEN / OF / WEYBRIDGE / WHO GAVE / THEIR LIVES / IN THE / GREAT WAR / THEIR NAME / LIVETH / FOR EVERMORE

Towards the base of the column each face is carved with the inscription: '1939 – 1945', below which are names of the fallen of the Second World War. On the base of the column, on the front face, is carved 'Korea 1950 – 1954', followed by a single name.
