Carnforth War Memorial, War memorial in Carnforth, England.
The memorial features a bronze statue of a soldier standing at ease with a rifle on a square granite plinth in a garden setting.
The memorial was unveiled on November 9, 1924, commemorating 57 soldiers who died during World War I and 20 who fell during World War II.
The inscribed plaques include names of local servicemen who died both during the conflicts and after their conclusion due to war-related effects.

A rare silent black and white film from 1924 documenting the memorial's unveiling ceremony is preserved at the King's Own Royal Regiment Museum.
