About the memorial: Normally a silent soldier would not qualify for inclusion here. But this one has clearly been installed in a purpose built position. A section has been removed from a grass verge. Steps edged with sandbags have been installed with a stone platform at the top upon which the statue stands. It was lavishly decorated for D Day 80, but was there when google street view passed by in September 2023. The original Spetisbury war memorial is in the churchyard at the north end of the long ribbon-development village while this is roadside in the centre.
