War Memorial Chitterne

War Memorial in All Saints and St Mary's Churchyard. Unveiled on Sunday 28th August 1920 by Field Marshall Viscount Allenby, whose sister faith lived in Chitterne House with her husband Vice-Admiral Charles Lionel Napier.

The wording on the memorial is very worn, so these are the names from the memorial plaques inside All Saints and St Mary's Church with additional CWGC information
