WILLENHALL WAR MEMORIAL

Willenhall War Memorial

Willenhall War Memorial

Willenhall war memorial stands in a small fenced garden on the corner of Stafford Street and Field Street. It consists of an obelisk of Portland stone flanked by two large name tablets containing the names of those who gave their lives in the First World War and two smaller tablets commemorating those killed in the Second World War. Two small plaques record the names of Willenhall civilians killed in air raids on the town. A more recent plaque records the death of D.A. Smith on active service in Belfast.




Willenhall Boer War Memorial

Willenhall Boer War Memorial Tablets

At the rear of the memorial two tablets commemorating Willenhall men who died in the South African War 1899-1902 are set in the boundary wall. In the centre is a plaque stating that "These tablets were re-erected on this site in 1964 having been removed from the Boer War memorial piers and gates at Wood St. Cemetery."
Both tablets have the inscription "These tablets were unveiled September 1905" around the edges.
