A scroll-shaped tablet mounted on short square pedestal inscribed in English text. It commemorates the role of British and American parachute and glider borne troops, pilots and aircrews that operated from nearby RAF Folkingham airfield during World War II. The memorial was established by Aslackby and Laughton Parish Council, supported by South Kesteven District Council and various military associations, whose details are listed on the memorial. The memorial was originally dedicated in July 1994.
