Eynsham War Memorial, funded by public subscription, stands in the Market Square next to St Leonard’s Church. It was unveiled and dedicated in April 1921 and has been tended since then by the Royal British Legion and more recently by Eynsham Garden Club; but the ownership of the land it stands on is unknown.
See also Eynsham Record 2006 Lest we Forget (p22-28); 1995 What did you do in the Great War? (p33-40); a fuller study of WWI names in 2009 and 2012 and of WWII names in 2010.
The inscription reads:
To THE GLORY OF GOD IN PROUD MEMORY OF THE FOLLOWING OFFICERS, NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND MEN OF THIS PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1918
"Dying, and behold we live."
