Heritage listing
Details A war memorial in the form of a cenotaph erected in 1925. It stands within the formal landscaped area of the Municipal Gardens and is surrounded by parterre planting and a fountain. MATERIALS: the monument is formed of Cornish granite. DESCRIPTION: the monument consists of a large, rectangular platform approached by three steps on its south-eastern side. The central plinth is surmounted by a cenotaph in the form of a pylon. It is surrounded by a series of decorative metal bollards linked by a chain. On the front (south-eastern) face of the pylon is a cross in relief. Underneath this is a brass plaque commemorating those who died in both world wars. This reads BOROUGH OF ALDERSHOT / THIS MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED IN GRATEFUL MEMORY / TO THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY / IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919, / AND IN THE WORLD WAR 1939-1945. The plaque appears to be a later replacement.
