About the memorial: Set back off the road near the British Legion. The list of names under the Names tab is said to be incomplete and this is so. As can be seen from the photograph of the plinth, each main face of the plinth contains 9 or 10 WW1 names, with four WW2 names added to the sloping base of the plinth. The photographs of names are of lists compiled some years ago. Designer: Herbert Baker English Heritage "This tall Portland stone memorial with blind wheel-head cross stands on the High Street outside the entrance to Ascot Racecourse Stables. It commemorates 64 local servicemen who died in the First World War. Following the Second World War, the memorial's base was raised and augmented so that the names of 28 men who died in that conflict could be added. The name of a soldier who fell in Afghanistan was added in 2011. "
