EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the poignant War Memorial located in Stainforth Cemetery, South Yorkshire. Erected around 1920, this remarkable sculpture was crafted by the talented sculptors Tyas and Guest of Swinton, near Rotherham. The memorial stands proudly to honor the brave souls who sacrificed their lives during World War One. The statue itself is a striking representation of an infantryman, standing tall atop a sturdy plinth made of listed ashlar stone. With his resolute gaze and stoic posture, he embodies the unwavering courage and determination displayed by those who fought for our freedom. In his hands rests a powerful gun, symbolizing both the destructive nature of war and the strength required to defend one's country. This evocative image serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during this tumultuous period in history. Mr W. Robin Hodges has skillfully captured every intricate detail with precision and artistry through his lens. His photograph not only preserves this significant piece of heritage but also allows us to reflect upon the immense human cost that war exacts. As we admire this moving depiction, let us remember those who gave their lives selflessly so that future generations could live in peace. May their memory forever be etched into our hearts and minds as we strive for harmony in an ever-changing world.
