Chatham Naval Memorial​
Chatham Naval Memorial is a large obelisk situated in the town of Chatham, Kent, which is in the Medway Towns. The memorial is a feature of the Great Lines Heritage Park. The huge expanse of the Great Lines was in its own right a layer of defence to protect Chatham Dockyard from attack.

Chatham Naval Memorial commemorates 8,517 sailors of the First World War and 10,098 of the Second World War.
