Dendron, Gleaston & Leece War Memorial Committee

Stuff about memorials and remembrance continues to turn up.

It was the Heritage Open weekend at Swarthmoor the last few days anf friends of friends turned up bringing a photo with them. It apparently shows the Committe of Dendron, Gleaston & Leece War Memorial about 1920.

Thanks.

Proving that I'm not a robot is bloody difficult. Have you tried listening to the sound version?; 22 September 2012 at 17:00

There are many war memorials in Cumbria. The United Kingdom National Inventory of War Memorials at the Imperial War Museum lists over 800 in the county but this is a gross underestimate. There are perhaps two or three thousand commemorating conflicts from the middle ages to Iraq & Afghanistan. They take every imaginable form.

This occasional blog describes some of the the finer points of memorial watching and some of my own thoughts on what they seem to say. Please leave comments; I have learnt a lot from peoples observations and memories.

Memorials are of a specific time - they pose many questions; about the validation of war, of death and remembrance and of ever morphing ideas of community or nationhood.

I'm not precious about the pics - they are there for all - download them as you will.

I have used illustrations and info from all over the web and elsewhere. If I have not acknowledged the source or infringed copyright I apologise. Let me know and I will make amends as best I can.
