WWI memorials
Great War tributes
WWI memorials are monuments, structures, or designated spaces honoring those who served or died in the First World War (1914–1918).
They range from grand national monuments like the Cenotaph in London to modest village crosses and plaques.
The sheer scale of loss—nearly an entire generation in some communities—made these memorials ubiquitous across Europe, North America, and former British colonies.
Many list names of the fallen from a town or regiment: His great-grandfather's name is on the WWI memorial in the town square.
