A triangle with slightly inward-curving sides forms the unusual basic shape for the War Memorial in Alnwick, as here, too, wartime conflicts led to the loss of life. The three corners of the brick base each serve as a pedestal for a statue, so that the memorial is surrounded by three mourning soldiers. The dividing walls of the base are inscribed with inscriptions. A round column rises from the center, towering significantly above the soldiers and crowned at its top by a lantern.
