The War Memorial
The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever, with tens of thousands of memorials erected across the country. This was a result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of three quarters of a million British lives, and the official policy of not repatriating the dead. Therefore, the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss.
One such memorial was raised at Ewhurst, as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by the members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War. The memorial commemorates 51 men of the parish who died during the First World War. The memorial was unveiled on 7 November 1920 by Mr Walter Webb, whose son Captain Evelyn Maxwell Webb is listed on the memorial. The £250 cost of the memorial was raised by contributions from the local community.
