Beverley War Memorial

The War Memorial in Beverley's Memorial Gardens (close to Saint Mary's Church), is an obelisk resting on a square plinth. Three of the sides of the plinth bear inscriptions dedicating the memorial to those who fell in the First World War. The names of those commemorated are shown on a metal tablet set into one of the four sides.

452 names of those who lost their lives in the First World War are shown on this tablet. Of these names, 92 are for men who served with the Yorkshire Regiment.

A separate memorial, adjacent to the First World War memorial, commemorates 128 names of those who lost their lives in the Second World War.

The names of four others who lost their lives in Korea (1953), Northern Ireland (1972), The Falkland Islands (1982) and Afghanistan (2009) are commemorated on separate plaque within the Memorial Gardens.
