‘IN REMEMBRANCE

OF THE MEN OF

LONGSTOCK

WHO SERVED THEIR

COUNTRY AS SAILORS

& SOLDIERS IN THE

WAR OF 1914-1919

NOBLY THEY DID THEIR DUTY’

This is the parish memorial in Longstock in Hampshire, situated outside the Peat Spade inn in the centre of the village.  This memorial focuses on service and duty, not Country or King.

The lettering, having been cleaned in  2012, is once again deteriorating and becoming hard to read.

Ref No 10.0 in my list of WW1 War Memorials, looking at what the dedications tell us about how ordinary people felt about the War that had just ended.
