Description

War memorials have been an enduring part of British heritage since the Middle Ages, but it was after the First World War that they became ubiquitous. In their thousands, these monuments were erected to commemorate the dead and pay tribute to their sacrifice.

The range and variety of war memorials are staggering, from magnificent monuments in great cities to simple wayside crosses and practical structures like swimming pools or village halls. Many were created by renowned sculptors, showcasing exceptional skill and artistic refinement.

This book is part of the Britain's Heritage series, providing a definitive introduction to the riches of Britain's past. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of war memorials, exploring their history, significance, and enduring impact on local communities.
