North Eastern Railway Company War Memorial
North Eastern Railway Company War Memorial, First World War memorial in York, England
The memorial features a 54-foot limestone obelisk with a three-sided screen wall containing carved swags and wreaths at its base.
Unveiled in 1924 by Field Marshal Lord Plumer, the memorial lists 2,236 North Eastern Railway employees who died during World War I.
The monument incorporates a Stone of Remembrance with the inscription 'Their Name Liveth for Evermore' designed by architect Edwin Lutyens.
Bronze plaques added in 2011 preserve the names of fallen soldiers that were deteriorating on the original limestone surface.
The memorial screen walls display the North Eastern Railway coat of arms and contain 15 slate panels listing 551 World War II casualties.
