The War Memorial was built by Thomas Kent of Boston at a cost of £150. It is made of broken Aberdeen red granite on a Portland stone base. The broken column depicts the broken lives of so many young men and women. The Dedication Ceremony was performed by Reverend Henry Felix, Church of England Rector in September 1921. The hymns were "Let Saints On Earth" and "O God Our Help In Ages Past" followed by the National Anthem. Captain S V Hotchkin MP unveiled the memorial.
The Chairman of Coningsby Parish Council at that time was Councillor Guy Simple.
The Inscription on the Memorial reads as follows:
This Monument is erected by the parishioners of Coningsby in loving and grateful memory of all whose names are recorded
