1982 Liberation Memorial
A war memorial on the western stretch of Ross Road, inscribed with the names of British servicemen killed in 1982 and topped by a statue of Britannia.
The 1982 Liberation Memorial was unveiled in 1984 and funded by local residents to commemorate the 255 British servicemen and three civilians who died in the Falklands War. A statue of Britannia stands on top of the central column, and the curved wall behind it bears the names of the fallen, their unit badges and the places where they fell. A remembrance ceremony is held here every year on 14 June, Liberation Day. It stands on the seafront east of the government building. Admission is free, and it can be visited alongside the Historic Dockyard Museum.
