Here is my photo of the War Memorial to fallen ex-King's School, Canterbury. It occupies a prominent position near the Norman Staircase within the Cathedral Precincts:

Another one from Minster in Thanet.
This one is tucked away in a small memorial garden next to the lychgate of the church and behind the bus stop by the old school.
The inscription reads:
The glorious dead 1914 - 1918
This stone is erected in memory of the gallant men who fell in the great war. The following passed through this Sunday school.

Memorial to the Great War, Ramsgate.
This memorial is on Madeira Walk, just above the waterfall. The main feature of the memorial is a female figure, partially covered by drapery, seated on a plinth. The statue, called Destiny was sculpted by Gilbert Bayes and had been presented by to Ramsgate by Dame Janet Stancomb Wills at a ceremony on 17th December 1920.
Originally inscribed on the plinth was the epigraph Destiny and a low-relief frieze representing all branches of the services – land, sea and air – who contributed to the war effort, as the memorial was dedicated to all who had contributed, not solely to those who had lost their lives. The depictions also acknowledged the contribution of animals to the war effort. These representations can no longer be made out because of the weathering of the stone.
The epigraph on the wall behind the memorial reads The Great War 1914 – 1918 To all who served - honour.
In March 2004 English Heritage gave a grant of £2300 towards work to clean the memorial, remove old paint and to repair and re-point the memorial and apply a protective Portland stone coloured lime-wash. The restored memorial was unveiled on 17th December 2004, the 84th anniversary of the original unveiling.
