Unfortunately, “Toddington War Memorial” does not locate this particular memorial accurately. There are several ‘Toddington’ places in Great Britain one of which is in Gloucestershire Cotswolds near Cheltenham. There is an Ebay postcard for sale showing this memorial as in Gloucestershire which I dispute. Or, am I wrong?
As far as I am aware this is Toddington War Memorial in Gloucestershire, but I was only passing through at the time. Where do you suggest it is?
Re-viewing photo 4 looking out from behind the monument onto a roundabout does, indeed, look familiar with secondary scrutiny. I will have to keep my eyes peeled for the memorial next time I’m in Toddington, Glos. area as it has completely missed my focus all the times I have frequently motored or walked that ‘Toddington’ over the years.
Yes, look out for it next time you are in the area. I believe there’s a Roll of Honour in the local church with the names of the men remembered by this war memorial, but as I said I was only passing through so had no opportunity to look round the church.
