A Century of Remembrance: One Hundred Outstanding British War Memorials

An exploration of one hundred United Kingdom war memorials which commemorate 20th century conflicts from the Boer War to the Falklands and Gulf wars. From the Boer War memorial unveiled on November five, 1904 through the Animals in War memorial revealed in London on November twenty-four, 2004, A Century of Remembrance presents these landmarks listed as near as possible in chronological order, representing different wars, different artists, different areas of the country, and a variety of types of memorial. In category they range from individual to national memorials and include memorials in schools, churches and places of work, and examples representing communities and the armed services. In form they are from statues and stained glass windows to arches, obelisks and cenotaphs, and from cloisters and chapels to art galleries and gardens and even a carillon. The volume presents a tribute to the military personnel of Great Britain who made the ultimate sacrifice in times of war and conflict.
