LONG
DITTON WAR MEMORIAL
World
War 1 - Detailed information
Researched, Compiled & Copyright © (WW1
"TOMMY" RESEARCH),
Jim and Rachel Stapleton and Nick Ward 2010
The Long Ditton war memorial is situated on the corner of Ditton Hill
Road and Church Road in its own small garden of remembrance, 74 names
are inscribed on its octagonal base in chronological order all of which
are for World War 1. It would seem the 1919 list was an addendum. The
memorial takes the form of a wheel cross of stone set on octagonal tapering
column that surmounts an octagonal stone plinth upon which appears the
names. The plinth surmounts a three-stepped stone base. There is a carving
of leaves on the head of cross and another of a rose in the centre of
the head. There are no names for World War 2. There are also plaques
in St Mary's Church to four officers. Although the names are listed
by year of death they have been sorted here into alphabetical order
for ease of reading.
