Tottenham and West Green - WW1 memorial

Erection date: 16/7/1922

Inscription

{At the foot of the obelisk:}
To the glory of god and in honoured memory of the men of this district who fell in the Great War 1914 - 1918.

{On the top of the front of the plinth}
The cause called them, they went and won - for you.

{On the rear of the obelisk:}
Deo Pro.

{On the four faces of the plinth and the base of the memorial:}
442 names (See commemorated subjects).

We first photographed this memorial some time ago when it was in a very bad condition. It has since been completely renovated, but there are still four names which are only partially legible, bringing the total of men remembered to 442.

Site: Tottenham and West Green - WW1 & Windrush (2 memorials)
