Paulton war memorial

Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 11 Oct 2016

Commemorating the town's fallen in both world wars. Interestingly, the WWI plaque faces downhill from the cross, the WWII plaque was added to the right of it, and a lone stone slab was added by the path in front of it. The latter is dedicated to Lance Sergeant Oliver Brooks, Coldstream Guards, who perished on 8th October, 1915 - doubtless a late discovery.
