The Tring War Memorial was dedicated on the 27 November 1918. It commemorates the 110 men from the area who died during the First World War and the 33 men who died during the Second World War.
The memorial is in the grounds of the Church of St Peter and St Paul in High Street.
Tring also has another area commemorating those who served and died during war. The Memorial Gardens which were established in memory of soldiers from the area who died during the Second World War.
The gardens had special displays commemorating the centenary of the First World War.
The flower beds in High Street near the entrance gates are regularly replanted.
The gardens are fenced and entrance is through gates with plaques on the pillars listing the names of soldiers who died during the Second World War.
Displays on this board are changed periodically. The centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele was being commemorated at the end of July.
The gardens are a peaceful place to relax and reflect as well as remember those who have died serving their country.
