This particular War memorial is curious in that it commemorates the men of Fulwell who lost their lives in the First World War, but is located in nearby Seaburn. The memorial itself is a bronze plaque set on a slightly raked plinth, such that it is almost horizontal. This is set at the head of an octagonal stone surround, in the centre of which is an octagonal bench. The whole is located in a small park at the junction of Sea Lane and Chichester Road in Seaburn.

106 names of men who fell in the First World War are commemorated on the memorial. A transcription of all the names can be found on the website for the North East War Memorials Project, and a larger view of the memorial, - suitable for transcription, is shown below.
