World War I Memorial, War memorial in Atlantic City, US.
The World War I Memorial is an outdoor stone monument in Atlantic City dedicated to the soldiers who served in the First World War. It bears engraved names of local residents who took part in the conflict.
The memorial was erected after the First World War ended, to honor the men and women from Atlantic City who had fought. It was later listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The memorial serves as a gathering place for remembrance ceremonies where people come together to honor local service members. These gatherings shape the community's connection to shared history and collective memory.
The memorial stands outdoors and is accessible at any time without a fee. Since it is fully exposed to the elements, wearing appropriate clothing for the season makes the visit more comfortable.
The memorial records not only those who died but also those who served and returned, which is less common than a list of fallen soldiers alone. This choice to name all participants makes it a rare record of a whole community's involvement in the war.
