Folkestone War Memorial is in The Leas area of Folkestone, Kent. Unveiled in 1922, it commemorates the 578 men of Folkestone who served in the First World War, and those who passed through Folkestone Harbour during the war. Folkestone Harbour railway station nearby was an important point of departure and return during the war for passage to the Western Front via Boulogne. The road from the station to the harbour was renamed the "Road of Remembrance" after the war.
