In Maidstone, Kent, the Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment Cenotaph stands as a First World War memorial to fallen soldiers of the regiment. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and unveiled in 1921, it follows the architectural principles of his celebrated Whitehall Cenotaph in London. Constructed in Portland limestone, this grade II* listed building embodies the restrained classical language that Lutyens brought to the language of British war commemoration in the interwar period.
