About the memorial: Celtic cross resting on an inclined base which sits on five tiered steps. The memorial was unveiled on 8 November 1923 by the Lieutenant Governor Sir William Fry KCVO CB. It was dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man. It was designed by P.M.C. Kermode and carved by T.H. Royston. The memorial was built on a field which was originally part of Ballahown Farm, German. It was purchased from the owner by Government Property Trustees on 21 August 1923, for the sum of £300. The bronze name tablets on the memorial were made by J. Youle & Co. Ltd, of Rotherham. Information provided by the Isle of Man Government Preservation of War Memorials Committee.
