The main dedication is inscribed in black-painted lettering on the eastern face of the column, which reads: "ERECTED TO THE MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR 1914–1918./ (9 NAMES)/ “LIVE THOU FOR ENGLAND/ WE FOR ENGLAND DIED.”/ GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN/ THAN THIS. ST. JOHN XV. 13."
The names of the fallen are listed along with their rank and regiment. Additionally, there is a marble plaque on the front of the upper step of the base that bears the inscription "1939–1945/ (NAME)."
