Kitchener Memorial

The Kitchener Memorial, standing at 48ft high, was erected in tribute to the HMS Hampshire, a British warship sunk by Germany's U-Boat U-75 during World War I. Commander Field Marshal Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener, along with 737 crew members, perished in the disaster in 1916. A century later, in 2016, a commemorative wall was unveiled at the base of the tower, inscribing the names of all the servicemen lost in the disaster. However, in 2020, the Kitchener Memorial was listed as one of the targets during the 'Topple the Racists' protests, but it was never touched. Today, the memorial stands as a silent witness to a bygone era, a poignant reminder of a monumental event that happened over a hundred years ago.
