Two of the four bronze panels on the sides of the obelisk are missing. The memorial commemorates those from Radford who fought in the First World War and was given to the village in 1919 by Vernon Pugh. It was originally sited on the corner of Radford Common, at the junction with Engleton Road, seen in Image and in the distance, right http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/583290 . It was moved in the 1980s at the suggestion of the British Legion, who were concerned about the damage it was incurring, and the sometimes muddy nature of the site. Thirty years on, between St Nicholas Church and the Radford Road, the memorial is no less prone to damage.
