WWI Memorial at Portsmouth Plains

Consists of 26 cement posts, each with a small plaque. There is a large boulder at the back of the rows of posts with a larger plaque. Each stone is carved with the name and rank of the deceased, the years of their birth and death.

Those honored in the World War I memorial there include Army doctors, one nurse, Army infantry, pilots, sailors, two Marines, and one sailor and his ship that have never been found. The 26 grave markers were purchased by the residents of Portsmouth and originally dedicated in 1919.
