This War Memorial is located at the main gates of Bramley Park, Bramley,
Leeds.
The memorial was unveiled on 4th August 2014.
The memorial is a stone pillar, surmounted by a hemispheric disk. The pillar
has scrolls on its four faces, each one carrying details of over 100 fallen
on metal effect plaques.
Surrounding the pillar on three sides is a curved polished granite wall, with
three engraved plaques in place representing in order from left to right,
Royal Navy, Army, and Royal Air Force.
Also on this curved granite wall are two new panels commemorating the names
of those who died in both World Wars and subsequent conflicts.
533 names are commemorated on the various panels as having lost their lives in the First World War, and 205 for the Second World War.
The website, "Bramley War Memorial", provides a full description of this memorial with transcriptions of all the names commemorated on the various panels.
