The Derby War Memorial was designed by Charles Clayton Thompson and stands before the Derby Guildhall. It features a bronze figure of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus in her arms by the sculptor George Arthur Walker.[1] It was completed in 1924 and unveiled on 11 November 1924.[1] Behind this bronze figure is a large Celtic cross.[2] The memorial was erected to commemorate the fallen of The Great War with the inscription "The Great War/1914-1918".
A later inscription, "For Faith/And Home/And Righteousness/World War 1939–1945", was added to recognize those men of Derby who died in the Second World War.[1]
A plaque commemorates the victims of later conflicts.
