East Greenwich Gas Works War Memorial

The East Greenwich Gas Works War Memorial is a First World War memorial that was unveiled in 1926. It is made from grey Aberdeen granite and features a monolith with roughly hewn sides and a polished front face. The front face includes an inscription and the names of 79 employees of the South Metropolitan Gas Company who died during the First World War.

At the top of the front face, the main dedicatory inscription reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THOSE EMPLOYEES OF THE SOUTH METROPOLITAN GAS COMPANY ATTACHED TO THE EAST GREENWICH, PHOENIX WHARF, AND ORDNANCE WHARF WORKS, WHO, IN RESPONSE TO THE CALL OF THEIR KING AND COUNTRY, SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES DURING THE GREAT WAR." Below this inscription are the names of the 79 fallen individuals, along with their rank and regiment, or the force they served in.
