Above the bench on the left is a rectangular stone plaque, with the county and borough coat of arms, commemorating those killed in The Great War. The inscription reads `1914-19 The Great War in memory of' and then lists 17 names.

Beneath this plaque is a smaller stone plaque commemorating 5 men who were killed in WWII. Above the cave entrance is carved the date `1914 - 1919'. Further down on the left hand side in a slight recessed rectangle is the date `1939' and to the right is `1945' in the same format.
