The plaque reads 'To the glory of God and in grateful memory of the men of Radstock who fell in defence of their country 1914-1918 1939-1945'. It is not quite accurate, as one of the 'men' who is recorded for the Second World War is 'Barnes, EL (Miss)'. 56 deaths are recorded for the First World War and 39 for the Second. In addition a small plaque reads 'Iraq conflict / Cpl Gordon Alexander Pritchard of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards / 1st October 1976 to 31st January 2006'.
