The First World War Memorial for Chelmsford (Essex) is a framed bronze plaque inside the Chelmsford Civic Centre on Duke Street. Outside the Civic Centre is a Cenotaph commemorating the citizens of Chelmsford who fell in both World Wars.

359 names are commemorated for those who lost their lives in the First World War.

A remarkably comprehensive website, Chelmsford War Memorial: The First World War, provides biographical details of those named on this memorial. The biographical details include the family history of the people named, - and even includes photos of houses lived in.

We are very grateful to oldpicruss who has given us permission to use his photos on this website.
