Description
'...The memorial stands on high ground in the southern part of the churchyard of Holy Trinity church (Grade II). It comprises a c5m tall obelisk, square on plan, in grey granite. A wreath, carved in relief, hangs from the obelisk’s tip. The obelisk stands on the shallow cornice of the tapering plinth. The plinth stands on a three-stepped base. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads TO/ THE UNDYING MEMORY/ OF/ THE MEN OF CAMBO PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ FOR THEIR COUNTRY/ DURING THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The 22 names of those men who died are listed on the remaining three faces. Three names include the year of death (two 1919, the third 1920) of men who died, presumably of the effects of wounds, after the 1918 Armistice...." -
