The use of regimental badges on public memorials in East Devon is also largely restricted to those memorials erected to only a small number of casualties, such as at Membury. The Devonshire regiment's crest is one of the five hand-painted badges (for nine casualties) on the First World War memorial board at St. John the Baptist's Church.
