Combined World War I And World War II Memorial – Over Kellet, UK - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

Broken column monuments are usually used as gravestones to denote a life cut short and I've never seen one used as a war memorial before. It is a very appropriate use of such a monument though.

It was erected after World War I and has a list of 10 names. It was amended after World War II and 2 names added for that war.

Over Kellet is a small village in Lancashire with a large village green bisected by a crossroads. The monument stands next to the crossroads opposite a historical village cross.
