- The North Eastern Railway War Memorial is a First World War memorial in York in northern England. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens to commemorate employees of the North Eastern Railway (NER) who left to fight in the First World War and were killed while serving. The NER board voted in early 1920 to allocate £20,000 for a memorial and commissioned Lutyens. The committee for the York City War Memorial followed suit and also appointed Lutyens, but both schemes became embroiled in controversy. Concerns were raised from within the community about the effect of the NER memorial on the city walls and its impact on the proposed scheme for the city's war memorial, given that the two memorials were planned to be 100 yards (90 metres) apart and the city's budget was a tenth of the NER's. The controversy was resolved after Lutyens modified his plans for the NER memorial to move it away from the walls and the city opted for a revised scheme on land just outside the walls; coincidentally the land was owned by the NER, whose board donated it to the city. The NER memorial was unveiled on 14 June 1924 by Field Marshal Lord Plumer. It consists of a 54-foot (16-metre) high obelisk which rises from the rear portion of a three-sided screen wall. The wall forms a recess in which stands Lutyens' characteristic Stone of Remembrance. The wall itself is decorated with several carved swags and wreaths, including a wreath surrounding the NER's coat of arms at the base of the obelisk. The memorial is a grade II* listed building, and is part of a "national collection" of Lutyens' war memorials. (en)
- 东北铁路战争纪念碑（英語：North Eastern Railway War Memorial）坐落在北英格兰约克市，是埃德温·鲁琴斯爵士设计的，旨在纪念第一次世界大战期间为国捐躯的英国东北铁路公司雇员。1920年初，东北铁路董事会经表决同意拨款两万英镑，用于聘请鲁琴斯并新建纪念建筑，约克市战争纪念碑委员会紧随其后，但双方的计划都卷入争议。根据计划，两个纪念碑相距仅90米，市纪念碑建设预算只有东北铁路的一成，而且东北铁路纪念碑准备紧靠约克城墙，两相对照产生的不良效果引起社区忧虑。最终鲁琴斯修改方案，把东北铁路纪念碑移到别处，市纪念碑立在城墙外不远处解决争议。巧合的是，市纪念碑所在地块原属东北铁路所有，后由董事会决定捐给约克市。 1924年6月24日，英国陆军元帅为东北铁路战争纪念碑揭幕。纪念碑主体是16米高的方尖碑，左右共有三面屏风墙，将世界大战纪念石围住。墙体由多处花綵和月桂花环装饰，其中一个花环将方尖碑基座上的东北铁路公司盾徽包围。东北铁路战争纪念碑属II*级登录建筑，也是鲁琴斯战争纪念建筑“国家收藏”的一分子。 (zh)
