Bradford War Memorial, War memorial in Victoria Square, Bradford, England
The stone memorial features a central pylon topped with a sarcophagus, flanked by two bronze statues representing a soldier and a sailor with rifles.
Erected in 1922, this memorial honors 37,000 Bradford men who served in World War I, including 5,000 soldiers who died in the First Battle of the Somme.
The monument stands as a central gathering point for annual Remembrance Day ceremonies where Bradford residents pay tribute to fallen service members.
Located between the National Media Museum and Alhambra Theatre, this Grade II listed structure maintains inscriptions commemorating multiple military conflicts.
The memorial's original bayonets on the bronze statues were removed in 1969 due to damage, though their hilts remain attached to the rifles.
