The memorial is to be found at Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station, Station Road, Stoke on Trent. It takes the form of a broad, elliptical, arch of Hollington Stone spanning the main entrance to the station platforms from the Booking Hall. The arch is supported on each side by double pillars. At base of each pillar is a cast bronze plaque bearing the names of the fallen in raised lettering, the names arranged in five columns on each. There is a red surround to the list of names and also red period iron railings in front of each. TYhere is also a note at the base of one of the pillars referring to research already carried out with an additional plaque added in 2016. The names listed here is order of regiment as on the memorial. To find Railwaymen who died in World War 1 there is a searchable database available in the Database section, to see the detail for all of these men in alphabetical sequence then click the link and simply type "North Staffordshire" in the "Company" box only.
