British war memorials / Mark Quinlan.

A study of British War memorials, remembrance and memorialisation. Memorials have been selected for detailed examination on the basis that they are representative or unusual examples, or are of national importance. The memorials include some in stained glass and other formats and commemorate those who served or were killed in war or conflict. Memorials from the early 19th century, the Crimean War, Boer War, the First World War and Second World War as well as many other campaigns, are included. Overseas memorials, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force memorials, and memorials to those awarded the Victoria Cross and George Cross, are also covered. Memorials are described in detail and illustrated with photographs. Brief biographies of memorial sculptors and designers are provided. Appendices include cabinet papers relating to the provision of national memorials on battlefields, the Report of the National Battlefields Memorial Committee, extracts from the Journal of the Royal Society of Arts covering the formation of the War Memorials Advisory Council in 1944, and relevant legislation.
