Memorial


(Click photo for larger version. Press Back button to return here.)



"M" is for "Memorial" and today's photo shows Ashton's War memorial in the Memorial Gardens, with the Parish Church in the background.

The Memorial will be a focus of attention in a month's time when people come to lay poppy wreaths in memory of those who have given their lives for their country in various conflicts in the last hundred years.

See Birds Eye View of this location. See Google Street View of this location.

"Memorial" is a contribution to ABC Wednesday. For more "M" posts from around the world please follow this link.

  2. There must be so many of those memorials in England. I know every town and village in Canada has one, too. Wonderful post for the letter M.

  5. Everywhere there are memorials, but none as remarkable as those in Europe. We have ours and will have a ceremony on Nov 11, but somehow it doesn't seem real to those of us who never experienced war in this country like those in Europe.
