Egremont War Memorial, Cumbria
Posted in Trips, War Memorials at 20:18 on 24 April 2013
From Whitehaven we moved on to the town of Egremont where there was no Art Deco but it does have a very dignified War Memorial. Its statue of a soldier dominates one end of the main street. Pity about the street light behind it.
The Great War names are set round the upper portion. WW2 names are on plaques either side.
The WW2 plaque on the opposite side unusually contains the name of a woman – who I thought may perhaps have been a nurse but it seems Grace Cummings was a Wren, (WRNS.)
