Bedale War Memorial is in the grounds of St. Gregory's Church and consists of a stone Moline Cross on a pillar which has two carved relief panels, one of Christ and one of St George. The Cross and its pillar are set on an angled square stone base. The memorial is dedicated :
TO THE GLORY
OF GOD
AND TO THE HONOURED
MEMORY OF THE MEN
FROM THE PARISH OF BEDALE
WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
FOR THEIR KING AND COUNTRY
IN THE GREAT WAR
1914 – 1919
THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE
The pillar carries the names of 45 men who lost their lives in the First World War, these names being grouped according to the year of death, the last being one who died in 1919.
The base carries the names of 22 who fell in the Second World War.
The co-ordinates bring you to the memorial and by using the names of those commemorated you can work out the co-ordinates for the final cache location as follows:-
