Hungerford's main War Memorial lies in Bridge Street. It was built on on land purchased by a group of Trustees in 1920 from the International Tea Company, whose International Stores had recently closed. Follow this link for more on the War Memorial Dedication Service. Several other war memorials can be found in other key buildings, including St Lawrence's Church, schools, and businesses such as the banks.

A First World War Memorial was dedicated in Church House (now Croft Hall).

The links below expand the individual stories behind the names on the Bridge Street War Memorial to those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.

Research on the First World War was carried out by Mac McIntyre.

Research on the Second World War was carried out by Richard Amphlett. There is an entire section on the Second World War Memorials.
