The cost ofrepairswasestimatedat£95andinJune1946theUSArmypaidthissumin compensation. This money was used for renewing the original lettering, adding the WWII names and making arrangements to move the memorial fromtheCrossHandsjunctionduetoincreasingtrafficandconcernsoverfurther damage.

In December 1979 a poll was carried out to decide whether to move the memorial back to the original Cross Hands site. Of the 53% of the parish that voted585votedfortheproposal,324against,and89wereundecided.Dueto the costs involved the parish council did not act on this. During 1993 a further poll involving a mere 10% of the residents resulted in a small margin in favour of returning the memorial to its original site. This time however, the movement was led by more active participants.

In 1994 the increasing number of participants in the remembrance service and the resultant lack of space in the cemetery led to the parish council mounting an initiative to move the memorial to celebrate their centenary. The move, costing around £3000, was partially funded by ICI and Zeneca, and South Gloucestershire Council was involved in providing and paying for structural work designed to protect the memorial.
