As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials – usually called “war memorials” in English – are still very important today. “Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said...” says the so-called “Hymn of Simeon” (Luke’s Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people commemorated here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term “dead soldiers’ memorial” is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously most common “war memorial”.

Standing on Hazeley Down, this war memorial is dedicated to local battalions who served in the First World War. There was a large camp here at one point – Hazeley Down Camp – which saw battalions from both Britain and other nations stationed here.
