Monument

A small, ground-level memorial built of flint and rounded river stones set in concrete. The monument features a sloping front face with a black engraved plaque displaying the portrait of 2nd Lt. John Warner Reed and a commemorative inscription honoring his sacrifice after his B-24 Liberator crashed in the adjacent field on April 29, 1944. The monument was unveiled in 2016, and Back Lane was officially renamed "Reed Way" in honor of 2nd Lt. Reed.
