Coombe Hill monument was erected in 1904 and unveiled at a ceremony held on 4th November in that year. The monument's original bronze tablet was eventually stolen and was replaced with one of marble in 1972. As part of a full restoration of the monument this new bronze tablet was fixed in 2010 and was officially at a dedication ceremony held on 20th October 2010.


The monument erected in 1904 was almost totally destroyed by lightning on the 29th January 1938 and was rebuilt the same year by the Bucks County Council.

Louise Prince has discovered this memorial for LA. Thousand thanks, Louise.

This page is dedicated to the 10 million victims of World War I and 60 million victims of World War II.
We should always remember the immense grief and loss each war brought to the world.
