The Bilton Boys War Memorial honours eleven military personnel from Bilton, near Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, who died in military service during the First World War. The inscription on the monument says: "To the glory of God and in honoured memory of: Fred W.C. Horner, Reginald Jones, Charles V. Bell, John W. Fishburn, Percie Balme, Willie Hutchinson, Herbert Gibson, Geoffrey H. Hewson, Henry M. Partridge, C.A. Arrowsmith, Reginald Burnett."

Note: Private Silas Harris Jennings (1894–1917) of the Northumberland Fusiliers and formerly of the West Yorkshire Regiment, who was from Bilton, and died in action in France in 1917 aged 23 years, was missed off the Bilton Boys memorial. One possible reason for this was that he was reported missing in action after going over the top in 1917, and he was possibly declared dead after the inscriptions were made on that memorial.
