EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the War Memorial at Annandale, a poignant tribute to the 87 local men who lost their lives during war, predominantly in the First World War. The memorial, designed by architect Royston John Keith Harris, stands as a hybrid obelisk cenotaph, combining the traditional obelisk shape with the addition of curved seating. The front face of the memorial bears the names of the fallen, each etched in a neat, legible script, while the rear face carries the inscription "To The Immortal Dead." The design is a testament to the enduring respect and gratitude of the community towards those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The memorial was likely erected around 1922, a time when such tributes were being built across the United Kingdom to remember the fallen heroes. The image, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the memorial in a timeless moment, inviting reflection and contemplation.
