Memorials WW1

See also WW2 Memorials, All Memorials, Memorials map. During the First World War many churches began to keep lists of parishioners, or church members, that were serving in the Armed Forces. In time it became clear that a number of these people were not going to come home and steps were taken to record the details of those who had lost their lives in the war. At the end of the war many churches decided to commission memorials as a way of remembering those who had died. 
In the Lowestoft area these memorials take various forms, from wooden panels, to brass plaques, to carved marble. In the Our Fallen website you will find lists of the names found on each local war memorial that we have had access to and photographs of each memorial. The War Memorials Map shows you where each memorial can be found.

The town of Lowestoft commissioned a ‘town’ memorial, a granite obelisk, that was unveiled in 1921. This is located at the end of The Promenade, near the East Point Pavilion and the South Pier. This memorial was not inscribed with names, but a book was produced that listed many of the people from Lowestoft who had died in the war.

Those details are not listed in our war memorials section, but everyone who was recorded in the town’s memorial book is listed here on the Our Fallen website.
