Swarthmoor is a village/hamlet between Barrow-in-Furness and Ulverston. Its War Memorial (for the Parish of Pennington,) in the form of a simple stone cross, is at the southern end of the village.

Inscription: “1914 – 1918 Pennington Memorial of the Great War for the world’s freedom and of the men who gave their lives for their King and their country. Simply to thy cross I cling.” The words “They shall be had in everlasting remembrance” lie around the remaining three faces of the plinth:-

The plaque at Dumbarton Central railway station commemorating the employees of the Dumbarton and Balloch Joint line who were killed during the Great War.

There also used to be a Great War Memorial plaque at Dumbarton East Station but since the station buildings were demolished some while back I have no idea what happened to it.

A memorial in Barrow to the men of two submarines of the Royal Australian Navy, built in Barrow-in-Furness and lost in the Great War.

Submarine AE 1 was lost off Papua New Guinea in September 1914, with all hands.

AE 2 was the first submarine to penetrate the Sea of Marmara in the Dardanelles campaign, where she  was damaged by a Turkish torpedo boat and scuttled by her crew, who were captured. Four died as POWs.

I published my photo of the War Memorial at Fulwell here.

Recently I received a comment on that post from Phil Cockton saying “Look at it now,” so I made a search on the internet.

I found this BBC news page.

I have taken the liberty of copying the photo from it.

In the background of my first photo of Braemar’s War Memorial can be seen another memorial which features an aircraft engine:-

This is from a Vickers Wellington aircraft which crashed near Braemar in poor weather on 19/1/1942. All 8 crewmen died.
The memorial is dedicated to them and to all othe aircrew who died in the Cairngorms:-

Lower plaque, dedication to those Commonwealth aircrew who lost their lives over the Cairngorm mountains:-

Dedication and names:-

Since we were close to Ballater after leaving Corgarff and I had seen its War Memorial on television when the late Queen’s funeral procession passed through the town I thought I should take the chance to photograph it myself.

It’s a granite cross rising from a wall where the names are inscribed, standing in front of the church on Bridge Street. Unfortunately there was a tractor right behind it that day:-

Dedication and names:-

There was what I assumed was a Great War Centenary bench nearby:-
