Description
The Cranleigh War Memorial is a limestone Cenotaph surrounded by low flanking walls, plants, and railings, with access provided by metal gates. The memorial features a wreath with a crane, which is the symbol of Cranleigh.
On the lower base, the inscription reads, "AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER THEM," along with the dates of the First and Second World Wars, 1914-1918 and 1939-1945. Above this, the dates 1939-1945 are inscribed along with the initials and surnames of approximately 32 men who lost their lives in the Second World War.
The other three sides of the memorial display the dates 1914-1918 and the surnames of about 113 men who lost their lives during that conflict.
In 2012, R Bennett engraved and affixed a stone to the base of the memorial to commemorate a soldier who was killed in the Afghanistan conflict. This stone reads, "S Birchall Afghanistan 2001."
