Hythe war memorial was unveiled on 16 July 1921 by Earl Beauchamp. Dedicated to the men of Hythe who fought and died in the First World War, the names of those who fell in the Second World War, and in subsequent conflicts, have since been added. The memorial is the work of noted sculptor Gilbert Bayes (1872-1953).
This memorial commemorates the residents of Hythe who were killed or missing in World War I (154 names) and World War II (40 names) and stands in a small garden of remembrance beside the Royal Military Canal.
It takes the form of a white marble pillar, square in section, the faces carved with a bas-relief frieze of twelve servicemen from the different forces and ranks. The corners of the pillar are rounded and carved with laurel garlands. The pillar is capped with a marble orb, with a stylised depiction of the sea, laid in blue mosaic, and carved fish. On the orb stands a bronze winged figure of Victory holding aloft a bronze model of a medieval Cinque Ports ship. The dedications are listed on a low wall behind the figure.
