The cross and the sword: symbols of past conflicts. This memorial is dedicated to the fallen of WWI - some 85 scattered in the large grounds. At the time, Bristol would have had a number of (often temporary) hospitals to treat the stream of wounded returning from the fronts. There are also the remains of 53 who were lost in WWII, although this monument does not record that fact.
