A memorial which includes the name of a female canteen worker is among those given protected status.
Four village memorials built to commemorate men - and one woman - who died in World War One have become Grade II listed ahead of Remembrance Day.
Historic England said one memorial in Mepal, between Chatteris and Ely, was unusual in that it contained the name of a woman, 22-year-old canteen worker Nellie Waters, who died at a military camp in Thetford, Norfolk. The unveiling of the Mepal war memorial, funded by public subscription and created in Soham, was given "extensive" coverage in the local press in 1922, Historic England said.
Northchurch War Memorial, near Berkhamsted, sits in the churchyard of St Mary’s Church as a permanent testament to the sacrifices made by 46 local men who lost their lives in World War One, and 13 in the later conflict, Historic England said.
