Albury has two WW1 memorials. The stone memorial in Albury Church lists 26 fallen while the wooden memorial plaque in Albury Village Hall lists 35.
Details of memorials, service, honours, families and photographs of those named on the stone memorial in Albury Church who lost their lives in World War One were researched by Peter Drinkwater in 2018. This file of some 300 pages, including the Albury War Memorial dedication service, is in the vestry of St Peter and St Paul's Church, Albury. In 2020 Albury History Society scanned all 29 sections, which are available below. The wooden plaque names are further down.

The stone-work—a niche with semi-circular arch, carved with double chevrons and supported by pillars—is in Hopton Wood Stone and is of a Romanesque character akin to the style of the church. In the niche is a bronze relief—kneeling figure of a soldier. The names of the fallen are incised in the stone below and the offering-up of their lives is shown, in symbol, by a lighted lamp borne in the soldier's hands. In the space under the arch is a painting; an angel reads from a scroll the record of all that was accomplished and endured in the great war, and with a harp and voice angels give thanks to God Who has given such gifts unto men.
