Located close to the Methodist Church in an angle between roads. The original cross blew over in 1960 and was repaired in 1962 before a new replacement cross was added in 1979. Each of the dead soldiers is also represented individually by a small yew tree with engraved plaque on a stone bearing their name, rank and unit, age and the action they were killed in.
