Long Ditton War Memorial is situated in a pleasant little garden at the junction of Ditton Hill and Church Lane, not far from St Mary's Church. The inscription on the base says: "THE MEN OF LONG DITTON WHOM THIS CROSS COMMEMORATES LEFT AT THE CALL OF KING AND COUNTRY ALL THAT WAS DEAR TO THEM, ENDURED HARDNESS, FACED DANGER AND FINALLY PASSED OUT OF THE SIGHT OF MEN BY THE PATH OF DUTY AND SELF-SACRIFICE, GIVING UP THEIR OWN LIVES THAT OTHERS MIGHT LIVE IN FREEDOM."
