Chatham Naval Memorial, Military memorial in Medway, Great Britain
The Chatham Naval Memorial features three tall stone pillars topped with bronze crowns, standing prominently on a hill overlooking the River Medway.
The monument, constructed between 1927 and 1930, commemorates over 18,000 Royal Navy personnel who died during World War I and II without marked graves.
The memorial inscribes names of naval personnel on stone panels, including Victoria Cross recipients Skipper Thomas Crisp and Major Francis John William Harvey.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission maintains the Grade I listed memorial, which remains open to visitors throughout the year with available parking facilities.
The structure incorporates four Portland Stone sailor statues and two pavilions, added during the 1952 extension designed by Sir Edward Maufe.
