Memorials

War Memorial, Borough High Street, London SE1

Touching memorial to Hannah Dakin, St George the Martyr, Borough High St, London SE1

War Memorial, Whitchurch, Cardiff

Church in Honfleur, Calvados

I found this memorial in a church in Honfleur. It includes representations of shells, hand grenades, and a gas mask. Perhaps the sculptor felt that these depictions of the realities of war needed to be made.

United Reform Church, Tunbridge Wells

A memorial on the inner wall of the United Reform Church, Tunbridge Wells. It may just be how I see it, but this seems a curious mixture of memorial list and bomb shape? If anyone knows of its origins, I'd be most interested in adding that information.

Royal Academy, London

Entrance to Royal Academy

I visited the Royal Academy for the first time this year, when my son and his girlfriend treated me and my husband to the David Hockney show. I noticed this poignant memorial on the wall outside the main entrance.

Platform 1, Tonbridge Station

When I caught the train home from a recent trip to the Western Front, my eye was drawn to a memorial plaque on Platform 1 at Tonbridge rail station. I found it very pleasing and touching that employees and passengers had put together the money to commemorate their late friend, who turned out, on closer scrutiny, to be the station cat. There are times when I love being British!
