SD7441 : The Soldier on Clitheroe War Memorial
taken 9 years ago, near to Clitheroe, Lancashire, England
The Soldier on Clitheroe War Memorial
Clitheroe Castle and the surrounding park was bought by the people of Clitheroe by public subscription in 1920 and declared a memorial to the men who had lost their lives in the Great War (see SD7441 : Memorial plaques by the castle entrance). The War Memorial, in the newly created Garden of Remembrance, was unveiled in 1923.
The memorial itself is in the form of a soldier standing in mourning pose with his head bowed and arms reversed. This statue is similar to (if not the same as) the one on the Slaidburn War Memorial Link .
The inscription on the plinth reads:
“Erected by the inhabitants of Clitheroe in grateful remembrance of their fellow townsmen who gave their lives in defence of their King and Country in the Great War 1914 1918”.
