About the memorial: 20 small, brick sized stones detailing conflicts plus two larger stones set in a low wall. Believed to be donated by the local branch of the Royal British Legion, the stones were originally at the back of the civic war memorial site; they were moved some 8 yards in 2012 to a custom built wall, as part of work by the Chorley Remembers project. The wall is below the Civic Memorial (WMO/112827), at the centre of the wall is the Falklands Heroes memorial (WMO/163591) at the base of which is the Chorley Remembers project stone of remembrance to the Falklands War (WMO/163421).
