Description
The Salcombe Regis War Memorial is a First World War memorial, erected in 1920, with later additions commemorating the Second World War. It is situated at a fork in the main road to the south-west of the village. The memorial is constructed from Cornish granite and takes the form of a plain Latin cross with chamfered edges that terminate in broach stops at the base of the shaft. This cross is set upon a low, square pedestal with shouldered corners, which stands on a two-stepped octagonal base. The principal inscription, in applied metal lettering, is on the front (south-east) face of the pedestal and reads "LAUS DEO / REMEMBER THE MEN OF SALCOMBE REGIS / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND / COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918." The names of the seven soldiers who died in the First World War are recorded on the three front faces of the upper step of the base. A later inscription on the rear (north-west) face of the pedestal reads "REMEMBER ALSO THOSE / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / IN THE WAR 1939-1945", and the names of the nine soldiers who died in the Second World War are listed on the three rear faces of the base’s upper step.
