Geocache Description:


The Radstock War Memorial was moved to its current site in 2004 and renovated in 2014. It comprises a Latin cross on top of a tall, octagonal shaft. The top of the shaft (below the cross) is decorated with simple blind tracery. The shaft rises from an octagonal plinth that bears a number of memorial bronze plaques, and the plinth stands on three low steps, surrounded by a low iron railing.

The memorial commemorates the fallen in WW1, WW2 and the Iraq conflict. 

There is a small plaque dedicated to Corporal Gordon Alexander Pritchard of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. He was the sadly the 100th soldier to die in the Iraq conflict between 2003 and 2006.
