Geocache Description:

Warlingham War Memorial is one of the central features of this charming Surrey village. It is a simple yet poignant monument dedicated to the great many local people who made sacrifices during the two world wars in the 20th Century to defend the basic freedoms that we now take for granted. Many of those who went to war were to never returned.

During the Second World War, Warlingham was witness to the Battle of Britain, much of which was fought in the skies above this part of Surrey. The former RAF bases of Biggin Hill and Kenley were within a few miles of Warlingham in either direction, and from there fighters would intercept German bombers navigating their way up to London along the valley between Warlingham and Woldingham (then known as 'Bombers' Alley')
