Heritage listing
Details War memorial. Designed by the sculptor Captain Adrian Jones (1845-1938) and dedicated in 1924. A Second World War dedication was subsequently added. The memorial was moved to its present location in 1972. MATERIALS: rough-hewn granite with bronze statue and leaded lettering. DETAILS: the memorial stands in a former burial ground, now a public garden. It consists of a square tapering column with a Corinthian capital, supported on an octagonal base and three-step plinth. The column is surmounted by a bronze Winged Victory figure bearing a laurel wreath aloft in her right hand (symbolising victory) and an olive branch in her left (symbolising peace). At her feet is a British soldier's steel helmet and cartridge bandolier (symbolising loss). On the front of the base a leaded inscription reads: ERECTED / IN HONOUR AND MEMORY / OF ALL THOSE / MEN AND WOMEN OF / UXBRIDGE / WHO SERVED OR FELL / IN THE GREAT WAR / 1914-1918 / AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE FROM / THEIR FELLOW TOWNSMEN. Further inscriptions around the base read: SONS OF THIS PLACE LET THIS OF YOU BE SAID / THAT YOU WHO LIVE ARE WORTHY OF YOUR DEAD / THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES THAT YOU IN PEACE MAY REAP / A RICHER HARVEST ERE YOU FALL ASLEEP and IN MEMORIAM / 1939-1945.
