The Lord and the Memorial
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 18 Oct 2016
Marshfield's hub revolves around the High Street and the Lord Nelson Inn. In front is the War memorial - or the new memorial, to be exact. After public subscription secured a memorial here, a new one was created in 1993. The solid form and four planters bear a number of names of fallen Marshfield men; the youngest was a Pte. Albert George Pullin of 2nd/5th Bn. Gloucestershire Regiment. He was killed in April, 1918 , and is laid to rest at Loos Memorial, Pas de Calais, France. He was aged 18. As a modern approach to the memorial, there are some Q.R. devices for those with the latest in smart phones. The Lord Nelson does not appear to have a long history, perhaps even being later than the Battle of Trafalgar (1805).
