| Description | Black‑and‑white photographic postcard of the Gillingham War Memorial as originally sited at Mill Road Junction, showing the tall, tapering stone pylon on its two‑stage pedestal with two‑stepped base, set within a small gated garden bounded by the entrances to High Street, Mill Road, Brompton Road and Marlborough Road. The image captures the memorial shortly after its unveiling on 20 July 1924 by Alderman W. H. Griffin JP, with the Right Reverend Harmer, Bishop of Rochester, in attendance, and the adjacent Black Lion Field visible in the background. |
