Details The memorial is located to the south of St Giles’ Church, Rowley Regis. It takes the form of a stone wheel-head cross with a tapering shaft. A reversed sword is carved in low relief on the front face. The cross-shaft stands on a tapering plinth. That stands on a base of two rectangular stone steps, raised on a rectangular paved slab. The southern face of the plinth bears the principal dedicatory inscription incised in the stone, reading THE/ GLORIOUS/ DEAD/ 1914 – 1918. Below this, on the top step, is carved THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE. Following the memorial's restoration the names of the fallen are commemorated on the paved slab area around the base of the memorial.
