The use of regimental badges on public memorials in East Devon is largely restricted to those memorials erected to only a small number of casualties, such as at Membury and Plymtree. The two regimental badges (in the top corners) of the Second World War memorial tablet at St. John the Baptist's Church, Plymtree are for the two casualties from the parish, yet the First World War memorial tablet above which commemorates three individuals does not include these symbols.
