The Inns of Court Officers Training Corps Memorial is a First World War memorial erected around 1920. It is located on Berkhamsted Golf Course at the junction of New Road and Potten End Road, near the site of the Inns of Court Officer Training Corps practice trenches on Berkhamsted Common.
The memorial features a stone obelisk with a moulded base, which stands on a chamfered and moulded square pedestal with a two-stepped base.
