Westonzoyland War Memorial

The image on the back cover is of the war memorial in Westonzoyland, Somerset. It consists of a concrete plinth with a metal shell-case set on top, on the front of which is a plaque which reads:

‘This shell was presented by Westonzoyland Parish Council to commemorate the memory of local men who served in the 1914-1918 war. It was erected by C&A Stacey Bros who served.’

The memorial is set within a wall at a roadside near the centre of the village of Westonzoyland. It was built around 1920 and was listed at Grade II in 1987. This article suggests lessons for primary pupils that focus on Westonzoyland War Memorial.
