Kirkee 1914-1918 Memorial

The Memorial commemorates nearly two thousand soldiers who served and died in India during the 1914-1918 War, who are buried in many civil and cantonment cemeteries in India and Pakistan where their graves can no longer be properly maintained.
The memorial is composed of eight pylons of a sandstone known as "malad" forming a crescent behind the Cross of Sacrifice. The names are inscribed on both faces of each pylon. The inner faces of the two central pylons bear, in English and Hindi, the dedicatory inscription, which reads:
These stones bear the names of soldiers who served and died during the 1914-1918 War and lie buried in Ajmer-Merwara, Bombay, Central India, Central Provinces, Rajputana and Eastern Punjab.
