EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the London and North Western Railway War Memorial at Euston Station in London, unveiled in 1921. The memorial stands as a poignant tribute to the employees and passengers of the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) who lost their lives during the First World War. The memorial takes the form of an obelisk, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of the bustling railway station. The ornate design of the memorial is a testament to the importance placed on remembering the sacrifices made during the war. The names of the fallen are inscribed on the memorial, ensuring that their memory will live on. Euston Station, with its grand architecture and impressive transport hub, is a fitting location for such a memorial. The station, which opened in 1837, was a major hub for the LNWR and was a symbol of the company's importance in the transportation industry. The railway station and hotel, which can be seen in the background of the photograph, would have been a hive of activity during the 1920s, with trains coming and going at all hours. The photograph, taken circa 1921, captures the memorial in its early years, with the obelisk standing proud against the blue sky. The memorial continues to be a significant landmark at Euston Station, serving as a reminder of the glorious dead of the LNWR and the sacrifices made during the war.
