The style of th...Hi Hels - thanks for your comment. The style of the memorial in East Malling is indeed unusual. At the top of the monument are some carved figures.<br /><br />Practically every town and village in Kent has a war memorial. They were mostly erected in 1920.<br /><br />I have a number of war memorial pictures on Flickr and will PM you details on Blogcatalog. You are welcome to use any you find interesting for your teaching next semester.<br /><br />GlenGlen / Kent Today and Yesterdayhttp://kenttodayandyesterday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980451224965693513.post-18350331363833531412010-04-09T16:14:11.658+01:002010-04-09T16:14:11.658+01:00Your East Malling war memorial is unusual, I think...Your East Malling war memorial is unusual, I think. Slim and not very tall, you might miss it from the street. Yet it has something elaborate on top that I cannot quite see from the photo. Is it some sort of gothic architectural element? <br /><br />I am teaching a subject next semester called The Art and Architecture of World War One. So if there are interesting paintings, sculptures or other war memorials, I'd love to know about them.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
