About the memorial: The war memorial in the village of Little Ness in north west Shropshire is a Portland stone crucifix on a pillar standing on a Grinshill stone square double base. On the front panel of the base the names, ranks and regiments of the nine men of the village who died in World War I are inscribed. On the side panels are the names of the forty men who went on overseas service and returned, and on the fourth side are the names of the men who joined up but did not see active service. The memorial is a wayside cross standing opposite the lane leading to the church and directly over the road from the wooden sided and white painted post office. the names, particularly those who served, are becoming illegible but a hand painted Roll of Honour is situated in the church. entry 258586
