To the left is Britannia, standing with her hand resting on a sword, the Union flag at her feet. She looks towards the names, which are in three columns.

At the bottom is another panel bearing the details of “Awards for Special Services”.

Names:

Approx. 300 names, place of work, regiment, rank, how killed.
Plus 21 “Awards for Special Services”.
See transcript.

Notes:

1. According to Shields Daily News 26/02/1921, 150 employees had joined up, of whom 14 had died. There are about 400 employees. There are some discrepancies with the information on this memorial, which leads to the suspicion that there might be two memorials, one for the Cabinet Works, and one for the Clothing Factory. Alternatively, since this memorial twice mentions the dates up to 31st December 1916, another similar memorial might cover the whole or part of the rest of the war. The whereabouts of such another memorial are unknown.
