About the memorial: US Armed Forces: Set in the floating roadway wall at the North end of Georges Pier Head. War Memorials Trust suggests that this does not fall within the definition of a war memorial because it is commemorating activity through the port rather than individuals who served/died. However, the record will be left online for as it may be of interest and will potenitally be added back on if removed as it may be assumed to be a war memorial because it has military connections.

As a conservation charity which gives grants War Memorials Trust can support repair and conservation works that follow best conservation practice. Grants are awarded from funds raised by the charity so money available is limited and is therefore focused on eligible war memorials.

War Memorials Trust’s Definition of a war memorial for funding purposes helpsheet explains which war memorials are eligible and ineligible for funding.

As a charity, War Memorials Trust relies on voluntary donations and every contribution, no matter how large or small, makes a really big difference to our work. Your donation will help protect and conserve war memorials for future generations so please support War Memorials Trust’s work.
