The War Memorial for Stockton-on-Tees is a monument built of Portland stone, resting on a concrete plinth. The Memorial is beside the parish church of St. Thomas, and adjoins the town's High Street. The Memorial is a significant feature of the High Street.

A bronze panel bears the words;-

TO THE LASTING MEMORY OF THE MEN OF STOCKTON-ON-TEES
WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914 - 1919.

THEY DIED THE NOBLEST DEATH
A MAN MAY DIE, FIGHTING FOR
GOD, AND RIGHT, AND LIBERTY,
AND SUCH A DEATH IS IMMORTALITY.

SEE YE TO IT THAT THESE
SHALL NOT HAVE DIED IN VAIN.
