The new Regimental Memorial for the
Duke of Wellington's Regiment in Halifax...

This is a cracker and could be an inspiration for PF modellers I think.

That is indeed excellent

Another impressive piece of sculpture added to this most interesting thread...

You are most welcome to add to this Wayne, glad you like it.
wherever you live, or werever you travel, you have or will see a local memorial we cannot see, but it has a home here mate.

I always 'enjoy' this thread. As it grows it's a history lesson to us all.
I was looking for a particular memorial in Kelvingrove Park. Glasgow and came across this site.

What horrifies me is that many of the memorials shown are within walking distance of where I live and the others are not much more than a 15 minute drive away.
Anyway visiting as many of these as I can is my summer project.

Nice one Del
I am not doing all my local ones...we have 1,500+ on Merseyside !

Found on another site

Yes.....another good one.... I've said this before. Any wanna be sculptor should study the works of the old masters before they get too cocky....

A cracking find Steve. What a clever and poignant concept, very emotional.
I particularly like the way that the wife and mother is depicted as the powerful woman who will hold the family together

Nice one Steve, thanks for posting.
I think you summed it up for me too Del.

To all friends and their Families in Australia and New Zealand at the end of your special day of remembrance.
Profound thanks for your service and sacrifice aross so many years.

Not as spectacular as others but this one from Newlyn on Cornwall. A large fishing harbour and community. The names of those who did not return are on 3 side of this memorial, the last from 2010, Afghanistan.
