Ashe County Honor Roll to WWI, WWII and Prior Wars

The monument is in honor of those from Ashe County who died in World War I, World War II and other wars prior to World War I. The monument has a two tiered base with an obelisk on top. The base and obelisk are constructed of rusticated stone blocks. The top of each base section consists of beveled poured concrete several inches thick. The entire structure rests on a concrete base. The base sections are 48 inches and 36 inches square. The total height is between 16 ft. and 20 ft. tall. A small light is affixed to the point of the obelisk. There are three bronze plaques attached to the base section below the obelisk. Two of the plaques list dead from World War I and World War II. The third and smaller plaque honors all who had died in previous wars. Each plaque carries an American Legion seal above the inscriptions.
