and takes the form of a brick screen wall with the memorial in relief
depicting mounted St George killing the dragon with bronze inscription
tablets above and either side, mounted on brick screen; the main inscription
tablet includes the Sandwich town crest. There are 87 names for World
War 1, 17 names for World War 2, 3 names for Korea and one for the Falklands
Conflict. The original memorial was unveiled in 1922 the sculptor was
Charles Leonard Hartwell, the architect Ernest May, the builder Mr Henry
Barlow and the designer Mr Omar Ramsden (there is some disagreement
that Hartwell was the sculptor and that credit should be given to Ramsden).
