Lest We Forget: War Memorials

0/5 ( ratings)

English Heritage Pocket Books encourage us to look beyond the obvious. Writer and photographer Peter Ashley champions the sometimes neglected and unsung architecture and related artefacts of everyday life, looking at everything from signal boxes to pre-war road signs, from lighthouses to canal tunnels. The series is beautifully produced with original colour photography throughout, accompanied by a witty and often idiosyncratic text. Two world wars ripped through the heart of every community in the country, with the 1914-18 war responsible for a loss of life on such a scale that barely a town, village or hamlet escaped the terrible scything-down of its youth. Most memorials will be simple stone crosses, but this Pocket Book discovers that the dead are remembered in an intriguing variety of monuments and buildings.

Language: English

Pages: 77
