Description

Men in 1915 period uniforms at the unveiling ceremony of the memorial to the casualties of the 46th (North Midland) Division at the Hohenzollern Redoubt on 13 October 1915.


The Memorial was designed by Michael Credland and takes the form of an octagonal broken column 46 inches high. It is built from Portland stone with two tiers of steps forming the base. The broken column of the memorial is intended to signify the loss of the head of the family and the loss of an army column. The angle of cut at the top of the column is 46 degrees. The pitch line of the steps is also 46 degrees. The Inscription "Their Country Found Them Ready", which is carved on the top step of the Memorial, was chosen by Martin Middlebrook. It comes from the popular war-time song "Keep the home fires burning" composed by Ivor Novello in 1915.
