The Midland Railway War Memorial is a First World War memorial in Derby in the East Midlands of England. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and unveiled in 1921. The memorial commemorates employees of the Midland Railway who died while serving in the armed forces during the First World War. The Midland was one of the largest railway companies in Britain in the early 20th century, and the largest employer in Derby, where it had its headquarters. Around a third of the company's workforce, some 23,000 men, left to fight, of whom 2,833 were killed.

  • 米德兰铁路战争纪念碑(英語:Midland Railway War Memorial)是埃德溫·魯琴斯爵士设计、1921年揭幕的英格兰東米德蘭德比。纪念碑旨在纪念第一次世界大战期间参军后阵亡的米德兰铁路雇员,该司规模在20世纪初的英国铁路公司名列前茅,更是总部所在地德比的最大雇主。全司约有2.3万雇员弃业从军,约占职工总数三分之一,其中2833人再也没有回来。 纪念碑以花园为背景,坐落在米德兰路,由衣冠冢和包围三个方向的屏风墙组成,就在德比站视线范围内。屏风墙上贴附死者姓名的青铜牌匾,衣冠冢两边是月桂花环围绕的米德兰盾徽。顶部是军人躺上灵柩台的雕像,身上盖着大衣,下面分布两侧的支撑刻有狮子头。鲁琴斯把雕像置于顶部来保持人物匿名,代表所有阵亡军人,观者可代入自身情感。 纪念碑1921年12月15日揭幕。米德兰铁路出版纪念册,并向纪念碑上列出的所有将士家人寄去副本。20世纪20年代末,米德兰铁路与其他企业合并,德比在铁路运输领域地位下降。如今米德兰铁路战争纪念碑属II*级登錄建築,所在地已划为。纪念碑上的青铜牌匾2010年被盗后找回,同年修复并重新举办献辞仪式。 (zh)
