Newport, England

The Newport War Memorial, located in St Thomas Square, Newport, Isle of Wight, is a Grade II listed structure commemorating the sacrifices of local soldiers from both World Wars. Erected in 1922, the memorial features a striking 28-foot Portland stone Celtic cross and bronze panels inscribed with the names of those who served.

Funded by public subscriptions, the memorial was unveiled by HRH Princess Beatrice and has since been updated to include additional names from World War II. The dedication to the community's fallen heroes reflects the collective gratitude of the people of Newport, with ongoing efforts to honor their memory.
