BURBAGE
WAR MEMORIAL
World
War 1 & 2 - Detailed Information
Compiled and Copyright © Martin Edwards 2014
The
Burbage War Memorial stands in a small, gated, memorial garden in Church
Street, Burbage, alongside the B578 running through the centre of the
village. It takes the form of an unusual looking infantryman with rifle
reversed, head bowed, with a high cap and small moustache; this rests
on a square pedestal and two-stepped base. The memorial is made from
Italian marble. Monies to erect the memorial were raised by public subscription.
It was dedicated by Rev. R D H Pughe and unveiled by Lieutenant Colonel
C F Jones on Saturday 26 February 1921. There are 60 names for World
War 1 and 31 for World War 2. The names here have been sorted into alphabetical
order within their sections for ease of research and reading.
