  • A Brief History of War Memorial Design
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF WAR MEMORIAL DESIGN War Memorials in Manitoba: An Artistic Legacy A BRIEF HISTORY OF WAR MEMORIAL DESIGN war memorial may take many forms, though for most people the first thing that comes to mind is probably a freestanding monument, whether more sculptural (such as a human figure) or architectural (such as an arch or obelisk). AOther likely possibilities include buildings (functional—such as a community hall or even a hockey rink—or symbolic), institutions (such as a hospital or endowed nursing position), fountains or gardens. Today, in the 21st century West, we usually think of a war memorial as intended primarily to commemorate the sacrifice and memorialize the names of individuals who went to war (most often as combatants, but also as medical or other personnel), and particularly those who were injured or killed. We generally expect these memorials to include a list or lists of names, and the conflicts in which those remembered were involved—perhaps even individual battle sites. This is a comparatively modern phenomenon, however; the ancestors of this type of memorial were designed most often to celebrate a victory, and made no mention of individual sacrifice. Particularly recent is the notion that the names of the rank and file, and not just officers, should be set down for remembrance. A Brief History of War Memorial Design 1 War Memorials in Manitoba: An Artistic Legacy Ancient Precedents The war memorials familiar at first hand to Canadians are most likely those erected in the years after the end of the First World War. Their most well‐known distant ancestors came from ancient Rome, and many (though by no means all) 20th‐century monuments derive their basic forms from those of the ancient world.

  • History of the Hampstead War Memorial
    Hampstead War Memorial Located on Main Street in the Center of Hampstead, Md. The War Memorial Association, in conjunction with the American Legion and the Rotary International have been instrumental in organizing the festivities for the dedication of the War Memorial in Hampstead. On November 1, 1947, dedication was held for the new War Memorial in front of the Hampstead High School on Main Street in Hampstead, Md. The dedication was very well attended and there were many speakers there. Among them were Senator Tydings, (who had just returned from making an extensive survey of the devastated and impoverished countries in Europe after the war), Former Mayor of Baltimore, Theodore R. McKelden, Samuel Jenness, superintendent of Carroll County Schools, Commanding officers or their alternates representing the Army, Navy, Marine and Coast Guard branches of the service, United States Senator George L. Radcliffer, Howard S. LeRoy, Governor of the 180th District of Rotary International, and Jack Tribby, State Adjutant of the American Legion. At this dedication, a bronze plaque was presented with 383 names of veterans from WWI and WWII and attached to the stone memorial wall. The $6,000 wall was built with funds collected by the War Memorial Association of Hampstead, The American Legion Post 200, and the local Rotary Club. Mr. George Bollinger, a stone mason laid the cornerstone as part of the ceremonies. The festivities opened to a crowd of about 500 people at 2 pm with a parade beginning at the south end of town, then came up to the north end of town and back down to the center of town in front of the school.

  • War Memorials in the Cerne Valley Is a Summary of What Is Known About Them
    The following information about the men named on the war memorials in the Cerne Valley is a summary of what is known about them. If you would like more details about any of them, please contact the Cerne Historical Society. CERNE ABBAS AND UPCERNE GREAT WAR OF 1914 TO 1918 There are 14 Cerne Abbas men who died in the Great War and one from UpCerne. Most were in their 20s. The three killed in 1914 were among the Regulars who sustained enormous casualties in containing the German advance and gave the vital time necessary for Britain and its Allies to mobilise for the struggle ahead. Local people remember being told by their fathers that there was a general exodus of young men marching into Dorchester and Sherborne to join the colours following the Declaration of War on 4 August 1914. Edward Henry Young Edward joined the 1st Battalion Dorsetshire Regiment in 1904. He lived in part of what is now 38 Long Street, Cerne Abbas (The Crown). His father was a Thatcher. The 1st Battalion was in Ulster at the outbreak of the war, but moved immediately to the front in Belgium and fought at the 1st Battle of Mons and at Le Cateau in the subsequent retreat. He was killed in The Battle of the Aisne on 16th September 1914 aged 27 and has no known grave. He is commemorated on the La Ferte-sous-Jouarre Memorial in Seine-et-Marne. Horace Collier Horace’s family lived in what is now 6 Abbey Street and in Back Lane, Cerne Abbas.

  • Newfoundland's Cultural Memory of the Attack at Beaumont Hamel
    Glorious Tragedy: Newfoundland’s Cultural Memory of the Attack at Beaumont Hamel, 1916-1925 ROBERT J. HARDING THE FIRST OF JULY is a day of dual significance for Newfoundlanders. As Canada Day, it is a celebration of the dominion’s birth and development since 1867. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the day is also commemorated as the anniversary of the Newfoundland Regiment’s costliest engagement during World War I. For those who observe it, Memorial Day is a sombre occasion which recalls this war as a trag- edy for Newfoundland, symbolized by the Regiment’s slaughter at Beaumont Hamel, France, on 1 July 1916. The attack at Beaumont Hamel was depicted differently in the years immedi- ately following the war. Newfoundland was then a dominion, Canada was an impe- rial sister, and politicians, clergymen, and newspaper editors offered Newfoundlanders a cultural memory of the conflict that was built upon a trium- phant image of Beaumont Hamel. Newfoundland’s war myth exhibited selectively romantic tendencies similar to those first noted by Paul Fussell in The Great War and Modern Memory.1 Jonathan Vance has since observed that Canadians also de- veloped a cultural memory which “gave short shrift to the failures and disappoint- ments of the war.”2 Numerous scholars have identified cultural memory as a dynamic social mechanism used by a society to remember an experience common to all its members, and to aid that society in defining and justifying itself.3 Beau- mont Hamel served as such a mechanism between 1916 and 1925. By constructing a triumphant memory based upon selectivity, optimism, and conjured romanticism, local mythmakers hoped to offer grieving and bereaved Newfoundlanders an in- spiring and noble message which rationalized their losses.

  • Stamp Has Described How Lutyens Designed the Memorial to the Missing of the Somme
    ‘Stamp has described how Lutyens designed the Memorial to the Missing of the Somme. His book is as restrained, and as “saturated in melancholy” as the monument itself. Far more than a work of pure architectural history, this beautifully poignant book illuminates the tragedy of the Great War, and tells us much about its aftermath. It is a truly classical piece of prose, a tragic chorus on the Somme which reverberates on the battlefields of today’ A. N. Wilson ‘A brilliant achievement … I felt instantly at one with [the] approach and treatment. It was such a clever idea … to treat Lutyens through Thiepval.’ John Keegan ‘An invaluable, detailed and illuminating study of how the memorial came to be built and how its effects are achieved’ Geoff Dyer, Guardian ‘Stamp’s book is devoted to a single one of the thousands of memorials that now dot the battlefield, Lutyens’s stupendous arch at Thiepval that records the names of over 73,000 British and South African soldiers who were killed on the Somme but have no known graves. As a piece of architectural analysis, it is impressive’ M. R. D. Foot, Spectator ‘A passionate and unusual book … [an] eloquent account of the genius of the vision of Lutyens … who created in the Monument to the Missing at Thiepval the central metaphor of a generation’s experience of appalling loss’ Tim Gardham, Observer ‘Moving and eloquent’ Nigel Jones, Literary Review ‘A book of remarkable emotional restraint’ Jonathan Meades, New Statesman ‘Gavin Stamp considers the building both as a piece of architecture and as a monument of profound cultural resonance’ London Review of Books ‘Succinct and masterly … [a] remarkable book’ Kenneth Powell, Architects Journal ‘Brilliantly lucid … Stamp is a marvellous writer, and brings every aspect of this monument and its story under lively scrutiny’ Jeremy Musson, Country Life ‘A poignant reminder’ Mark Bostridge, Independent on Sunday ‘The Memorial to the Missing of the Somme distils the first world war into the story of Lutyens’s great but under- celebrated monument at Thiepval.
