War Memorial, Portland, War memorial at New Ground, Portland, England
The Portland Cenotaph stands at New Ground, overlooking Chesil Beach and both sections of the island from its position near Portland Heights Hotel.
The memorial lists 237 soldiers from World War I and 108 local soldiers from World War II who lost their lives during these conflicts.
Ex-Private Crispin, who lost three brothers in World War I, conducted the memorial dedication ceremony on November 11, 1926.
The memorial serves as the central gathering point for the annual Remembrance Day service, where hundreds of residents come together to honor fallen soldiers.
The monument's location resulted from a community compromise between Underhill and Tophill residents, who initially wanted separate memorials for their areas.
