Felixstowe War Memorial – located on the seafront at Undercliff Road West

Felixstowe Town Council, the Felixstowe branch of the Royal British Legion and local clergy jointly arrange Remembrance Services for the town.  

During World War One 163 men from Felixstowe and surrounding villages died. To show our respects and remember these brave men a special commemorative event  will take place on on the evening of Remembrance Day Sunday 11th November marking the centenary of the end of the First World War.
We are looking for 163 volunteers who can attend to represent each of Felixstowe’s fallen.
