On the junction of Lees Street and Constable Street in Gorton. Find on map.
Round the base reads.
IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THOSE
WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY
THEIR BRIGHT SPIRITS STILL TENANT THE
HEARTS OF THOSE WHO LOVED THEM
THEY PASSED OUT OF THE SIGHT OF MAN BY
THE PATH OF DUTY AND SELF SACRIFICE
LET THOSE WHO COME AFTER SEE TO IT THAT
THESE NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN
THE GREAT WAR
1914 - 1919
1939 - 1945
The men remembered.
