Fulstow war memorial plaque is attached to the village hall which stands on the main street in the village. It is a green marble plaque with gold lettering and a depiction of poppies across the middle.
War Memorials Trust contributed £250 to the commissioning of a war memorial plaque in 2005. The village had never had a war memorial and sought to erect one for those of the village who had fallen in both the First and Second World Wars. The reason that the village did not have a memorial was that in 1918 villagers had turned down an offer of a memorial as the local authority would not let them place the name of a man shot for desertion on the memorial. His name is on the new memorial.
The new memorial was unveiled on 13th November 2005.
The inscriptions on the plaque read:
This plaque is dedicated to the men and women of Fulstow who gave their lives for our freedom.
We will never forget.
