Alloa War Memorial

This is a very dignified memorial set in a lovely wee garden area. It’s actually just round the corner and over the road from the stunning Art Deco building of the former Gas Showroom which I posted about last week.

View from main road (garden entrance.)

The names are on the wall to the rear. World War 1 on main area, World War 2 on the side pillars. The plaque to the left (above the wreath) is for a recent death in Afghanistan.

Views from right and left of the main statue are below. These ones with figures of soldiers are always evocative. The main statue seems to be of a woman. A Saint, I suppose.

    You suppose correctly. The statue is indeed a woman and I believe it to be that of St Margaret of Scotland.
