The Douglas War Memorial is dedicated to those who died during World War I and World War II. The monument is located along Harris Promenade, across from the Villa Marina.
The memorial, including the statue at top, stands about 50 feet (15 m) high and has a stone base rising in four steps, upon which is a tall column of Manx granite, surmounted by the three ton figure of a soldier called "The Manxman". It was designed to have a flower garden and guard rail surrounding it and stands on what was once a bandstand area. The front facade features sculptures of a wreath and holy cross. Rolls of names and copper vases for flowers are affixed to the base. The rolls of names are segregated by service and year of death.
The Douglas War Memorial was designed by Ewart Crellin (1887–1950) and erected in May 1924.
