About the memorial: The war memorial in the Kent village of Knockholt, on the top of the North Downs, is a Portland stone pillar on a plinth and a two stepped base. On top of the pillar is a cornice and above this is a rectangular piece of stone with a pitched top, upon the front face of which is carved a laurel wreath. On the front face of the plinth is an inset bronze tablet with a half relief depiction of a World War I soldier in full length profile, his head bowed and his hands resting on the butt of an inverted rifle. A dedication is inscribed on the plinth below this. The names of the fallen are inscribed on the two side faces of the pillar. All the lettering is inscribed and enamelled. The memorial stands outside St Katharine’s church on the main road.
