World War I Memorial Cross, Cambridge Cemetery - Cambridge, MA - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

In Cambridge, within the Cambridge Cemetery, is a veteran's section where there is a white stone cross at the end near the entrance. This cross is a memorial for World War I.

The inscription in the front is as follows:

"In honor of fifty-five Cambridge men whose names are hereon inscribed who made the supreme sacrifice in the World War of 1917-1918.
...
They lie buried overseas
...
They shall not be forgotten"

At the bottom is:

"Erected by the City of Cambridge 1942"

On the back of the cross are the fifty-five names, all lined in a single column.

The cross is surrounded by green hedges and surrounded by a flagstone walkway.

Hours do differ over the year. In the summer it is open from 7 am to dusk. In the winter, it is open from 7 am to 5 pm. Parking is available along the cemetery roads, but it is a bit chaotic to park right where the memorial is, as the office is just across the way.
