War Memorial, Haltwhistle
This is a lovely cross and is carved with lots of animal and nature desgigns. According to the war memorials website the 'Head of the cross is carved on both sides with never ending interlaced rope ornaments representing eternity. The front of the shaft is carved to represent the main trunk of a tree. At the bottom two leverets represent Belgium and feed among the roots. Swooping down are two birds of prey (Germany and Austria) - both not seen in this photo - two rats represent the horrors of war. Squirrels with oak leaves and acorns represent the British Empire. Two owls represent the wisdom of God and the whole is surmounted by the dove of peace.'
