The War Memorial for Stakeford and Bomarsund stands outside Stakeford and Bomarsund War Memorial Hall (opened 1922) located in the village of Stakeford on the main A147 road that runs through the village. It takes the form of a tall granite column standing in front of a panel. The column is raised on a small plinth, square on plan. At the top of the column a small wreath, suspended from the abacus, is carved in low relief. The commemorated names are listed below on the column shaft.
