About the memorial: Shoreham war memorial is in a riverside location on Darenth Way, Shoreham. The memorial is composed of a Kent rag stone base and Bath stone plinth with a headstone shaped memorial on top. Interestingly, the inscription on the memorial calls for those who visit the memorial to refer to a large chalk cross located on a nearby hill which could originally be seen from the memorial. The inscriptions were originally carved into the stone, but the names on the plinth have since been covered with bronze plaques.
