Belford War Memorial


The war memorial in Belford was unveiled on the 26th of March 1922 by Dr. James McDonald, and dedicated by Rev. F. Goodburn Buffey.[1] The memorial, a "stone of remembrance", located in front of the Belford Community Club, was built to commemorate 56 local servicemen who lost their lives in the First World War. Later, it was further dedicated to 20 servicemen and one civilian who were killed in the Second World War.[2] The memorial is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
