About the memorial: Erected c1923 and opened / dedicated on 31 May 1924. Dating back to Victorian times, the structure was not originally a war memorial. It stood at the entrance to another estate in Chorley (Gillibrands Estate) a mile or so away in the town, being moved to its current site and the inscription added. Below the arch set into the ground is a new stone, installed in 2020. Just inside the park are two interpretation boards about the history of the war memorial
