Croydon War Memorial, War memorial at Katharine Street in Croydon, England
The Portland stone cenotaph features two bronze statues: a soldier from the East Surrey Regiment and a woman holding a child, both cast at M. Maneti foundry.
The memorial, designed by James Burford and Paul Raphael Montford, was unveiled in October 1921 to commemorate those who died during the First World War.
The monument contains inscriptions for both World Wars and includes a roll of honor maintained in the local library listing the names of fallen service members.
The cenotaph stands approximately 9 meters tall and received Grade II* listed status in 2017, protecting it from unauthorized modifications or demolition.
The figure of the soldier bandaging his arm was exhibited at the Royal Academy before its installation, representing personal sacrifice during wartime.
