Gibraltar Cross of Sacrifice
Gibraltar Cross of Sacrifice, War memorial at Winston Churchill Avenue, Gibraltar.
The Cross of Sacrifice features a bronze sword mounted on its front face, forming an additional cross with the stone structure at the sundial roundabout.
The Royal Engineers constructed this memorial in 1922, and its dedication ceremony marked the first motion picture filmed in Gibraltar by British Pathé.
The memorial includes inscriptions honoring military personnel who served during both World War I and World War II, with specific references to 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.
Located at the intersection of Winston Churchill Avenue and Devil's Tower Road, the memorial stands between 4.5 and 9 meters in height.
The monument was relocated from North Front Cemetery after World War II due to erosion damage, finding its current position near the sundial roundabout.
