The Fenton (Stoke-on-Trent) War Memorial stands in Albert Square in front of the old Town Hall, which is now used as a magistrates court. The memorial itself has no names inscribed on it, but inside the old Town hall there is a ceramic memorial on which all the names are recorded. Unfortunately, for security reasons, photographing this memorial is not readily permissible. However, there is a photograph on MilitaryImages.Net by member "28th61st" and the photograph by this member is shown below. Permission has been requested for use of this image.

The name of one soldier who served with the Yorkshire Regiment is shown on this memorial.
