A Son of the Rock

Penrith’s main War Memorial is, I have subsequently found, in Castle Park but I was parked much nearer the town centre than there. I will look for it the next time I’m in the town.

I did however come across one Great War Memorial in the churchyard of St Andrew’s Church, inscribed, “In proud and grateful memory of the men of Penrith who gave their lives in the War 1914-1918”:-

Reverse of memorial. Inscribed, “As dying and behold we live.”

Just to the side of the memorial was this remembrance “garden.” Presumably for the 100th centenary of the end of the war:-
