West Hartlepool War Memorial, War memorial in Victory Square, Hartlepool, England
The memorial features a 66-foot granite obelisk with bronze bas-reliefs, twelve commemorative panels, and four white granite pillars added after World War II.
The memorial was unveiled on October 11, 1923, following a design competition managed by architect Ernest Newton and won by George J Coombs of Aberdeen.
The structure displays bronze panels containing 1545 names of World War I casualties, organized in columns, with the town coat of arms bearing the motto E Mare ex Industria.
The Hartlepool Borough Council maintains the memorial through its Neighborhood Services department, which completed stone and plaque restoration work in 2008.
Four white granite pillars measuring 7 feet 4 inches were added to the original obelisk to commemorate World War II casualties, each bearing bronze plaques.
