Comment: I'm not convinced this meets the notability requirements; the only sources are a primary source and 3 links to the CWGC, which don't establish notability. Pretty much every single town and villiage in the UK has at least one WW1 memorial so it would need to be specifically notable in order to publish. CoconutOctopus talk 11:49, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
