Stratford-upon-Avon First World War Memorial.

 

The war memorial in Stratford-upon-Avon was originally located on Bridge Street and was unveiled on 14 February 1922. By 1932 the memorial had been relocated to Bancroft Gardens next to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and was finally moved to the Garden of Remembrance, which opened in 1954, and is co-located with the Second World War Memorial.

There is an additional bronze plaque to the second stage of the pedestal which is titled FIRST WORLD WAR 1914-1920 and gives the names of 12 men and the date of their death.
