SU4519 : War Memorial, Eastleigh Park
taken 7 years ago, near to Eastleigh, Hampshire, England
War Memorial, Eastleigh Park
Eastleigh’s war memorial was erected in 1929. It is a free-standing stone column surmounted by a bronze sculpture of the Angel of Mons
Link . Unfortunately, the original angel which stood on top of the column was stolen and never recovered. Subsequently a replica sculpture of the Angel of Mons (
SU4519 : Angel of Mons, Eastleigh War Memorial) was commissioned by sculptor Jill Tweed and set in place.
The inscription on the plinth is:
1914-1918 1939-1945
To our/Glorious
Dead.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
we will remember them.
