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.

This memorial, located in Alnwick, Northumberland, England, commemorates various conflicts including the First World War, Second World War, Korean War, and the Northern Ireland Conflict (The Troubles) from 1914 to 1998. Designed by Hicks and Charlesworth, sculpted by Ralph Hedley and Sons, built by Green and Son of Warkworth, and founded by Singers of Frome, the memorial was unveiled on November 11, 1922, attended by the Duke of Northumberland. It was later dedicated on November 12, 1950, in ceremonies attended by the Vicar of Alnwick and the Duke of Northumberland.
