East Knoyle War Memorial, War memorial in East Knoyle, England
The Portland limestone monument features a three-stepped base, square plinth, and shaft rising 16 feet with a wheel cross at its summit.
The memorial, unveiled on September 26, 1920, honors 20 local soldiers who died in World War I, with additional names added for World War II casualties.
