Memorial Edward Salter Freshwater

The memorial is a cairn of concrete and beach pebbles on which is mounted a granite plaque engraved by Phil Attrill. It was erected in 1995 to replace an earlier memorial by Ida Mary Salter in memory of her son and to mark the gift of land to the National Trust.
The memorial was dedicated by Canon James Buckett on Saturday 23rd September 1995.

The plaque reads
“ This land was given to the National Trust
by Ida Mary Salter
in memory of her only son
Cpl. Edward Talfourd Salter,
the 1/4th Hampshire Regiment,
killed in action in Italy
October 1943, aged 33 ”
