Middlesbrough cenotaph
The cenotaph commemorates those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars, and other conflicts. It's located on Linthorpe Road, outside the entrance gates to Albert Park, in front of the Dorman Museum.
Built in 1922 at a cost of over £17,000, the cenotaph was unveiled on 11 November that year by the deputy mayor of Middlesbrough, J.G. Pallister. After the Second World War, the cenotaph was rededicated to those who died in that conflict and other wars.
The north and south faces of the monument are inscribed with the epitaph "THE GLORIOUS DEAD 1914–1919, 1939–1945".
The cenotaph and surrounds were restored and improved in 2008.
There are 3137 names on the 24 panels of the war memorial, including at least two women. Of the 3137 names, 1107 are for men of the Yorkshire Regiment (either those who joined the regiment and subsequently transferred, or who served continuously in the regiment).
For names with a number in brackets beside it, this means a footnote is available. These can be found below the list of names (sometimes on the next page), and are usually used to show a correction to a name which was added to the cenotaph incorrectly.
