The Tansboro memorial did not sit here originally. It comes from one of those old towns that has been since sucked up by a larger municipality due to population and consolidation of services. This is the largest collection of memorials in one place (from various towns) in Camden County, NJ. The memorials are arranges in a semi circle resting upon a circle of pavers, some dedicated. In the center of the circle are even more memorial to various wars and multi-wars. This memorial is a typical stone with a rounded top and a brass plaque set in the middle with typical inscription and list of names. This entire collection is set in the middle of a large, grassy patch of land on municipality property across from the police department and the municipal complex.

This entire memorial, all of them, can be seen from Rt. 73, a major highway. I first noticed these on my way to the shore (Ocean City). Most of the large stone tablets are for World War II but I also found a Korean War, a Vietnam War and a non-specific war memorial as well. They were originally here, while the great big tablets were moved including this one.

The marker reads:

In Honor of the Men and Women of Tansboro who served in the Armed Forces our Our Country During World War I and II.
