Description

A stone cross, bearing names of WW I and WW II servicemen from Freshwater. Believed to have been designed by Percy G Stone F.S.A.

There is also a small panel inset into the grass at the base of the memorial with a number of WW II casualties' names. This repeats part of the main inscription on the cross which is now quite worn.
