The City of Portsmouth War Memorial, also referred to as the Guildhall Square War Memorial, is a First World War memorial in Guildhall Square in the centre of Portsmouth, Hampshire, on the south coast of England.

As such, the town suffered significant losses in the First World War. Planning for a war memorial began shortly after the end of the conflict and a committee was established for the purpose.

  • 朴茨茅斯市战争纪念碑(英語:City of Portsmouth War Memorial)又称市政厅广场战争纪念碑(Guildhall Square War Memorial),是英格兰南岸漢普郡朴茨茅斯中心市政厅广场屹立的。朴茨茅斯一直是英国皇家海军的重要船坞,造船厂和武装部队20世纪初为当地提供大量就业岗位,小镇在第一次世界大战损失惨重。战争结束不久当地计划建造战争纪念碑并为此成立委员会,立碑地点选在靠近镇政厅的铁路护坡附近。委员会经公开竞赛选中建筑师、沃尔特·戈登,联合雕塑家负责设计。 纪念建筑主体是屏风墙和半圆形凹陷范围的多幢建筑,固定在墙上的青铜板刻有逝者姓名。屏风墙拱门从市政厅广场通向维多利亚公园和火车站,栏杆围出的道路转回市政厅广场,终点位置是贾格尔创作的真人尺寸雕塑,分别是军人与机枪和水兵与机枪。纪念碑正中的衣冠冢上顶着骨灰瓮,侧面浮雕战时场面。1921年10月19日,阿瑟王子为尚未完工的纪念碑揭幕。 市政厅广场在20世纪70年代重新开发,纪念碑经小幅调整,附近新增屏风墙。进入21世纪后,纪念碑旁新建第二次世界大战死者纪念碑,屏风墙刻有逝者姓名。朴茨茅斯一战纪念碑今属II*级登錄建築。 (zh)
