The War Memorial in Devonshire Place at Eastbourne.

The memorial, by Henry Charles Fehr, was unveiled in 1920. It is in the form of a granite memorial which is surmounted by bronze statue, the ‘Angel of Victory’, holding a laurel wreath in the left hand and a raised inverted sword in the right (TV6198 : The Angel of Victory, Eastbourne War Memorial). There are bronze plaques to north and south sides.

This is looking at the south face, the raised lettering on the bronze plaque reads:
