Monmouth War Memorial, War memorial in St James Square, Monmouth, United Kingdom.
The stone monument features a three-step base supporting a tall column topped with a soldier figure and includes multiple metal plaques listing fallen soldiers.
The memorial, inaugurated in 1921, stands as a testament to Monmouth residents who lost their lives during the First and Second World Wars.
The memorial serves as the central location for annual Remembrance Day ceremonies where the community gathers to honor military service members.
Visitors can access the memorial at any time within St James Square, where it occupies the center of a roundabout connecting multiple streets.
A North American Catalpa tree planted in 1900 stands behind the cenotaph, reaching maturity when the monument was unveiled in 1921.
