Description / Background

The memorial is a white marble honour roll, set on a black stone backing tablet. It bears the names in gold of those from the St Paul's Anglican Church parish in Gloucester who fell in the First World War. It has a classically designed pediment at the top with supporting shelves at the top and bottom. 

On 15 November 1919, the Gloucester Advocate published a detailed report of the first visit of the Bishop of Newcastle Dr Stephen to Gloucester, which took place on 10 November. During his visit, the Bishop unveiled the memorial at the church. There was a good attendance at the service, including relatives and friends. The Bishop emphasised the need for memorials, so that there should be a lasting "record of those, inspired by a sense of duty and love of country, gave their lives in order that others might be free."
