Description
The West Buckland War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was erected in 1919. It is made of carved granite and is located on the village green. The memorial features a simple, roughly-hewn obelisk that stands on a square plinth with a chamfered top, which rests on a stone base. The lower part of the front (south) face of the obelisk is inscribed in black painted lettering with the words: FOR KING/ AND/ COUNTRY/ 1914-1918. Below this inscription, the names of the fallen are listed on the plinth. The west side of the plinth bears the inscription: 1939-1945, with the names of those who fell in the Second World War listed beneath. The memorial is surrounded by metal railings that have spearhead finials.
