Description
The War Memorial features a bronze soldier leaning on an upturned Lee Enfield rifle, dressed in full battle kit complete with a sling and tin hat. The figure depicts an attitude of exhaustion after battle. It stands on a granite pedestal, which is set on a concrete platform. The pedestal has diminishing squares leading to a shaft with chamfered corners. On the front of the memorial, there is an inscription that reads: 'To the Officers, NCOs and Men of the 3rd Battalion Monmouthshire Regt. who fell in the Great War'. The sides display lists of battle honours, and an inscription commemorating World War II has been added to the back.
