More about this scene
The war memorial, unveiled in 1921, was designed by Sir William Boscombe John, and stands on the site of Port Sunlight's old gymnasium. It is a unique and dramatic representation of the sufferings of the whole of society. The centrepiece, a large granite cross, is surrounded by eleven bronze figures symbolising the defence of the home. The circular parapet surrounding the cross has two bronze panels on either side of the four flights of steps, which depict children presenting floral garlands in token of gratitude. There are four more bronze panels set between these representing sea, land and air forces and the Red Cross. Inscribed in stone round the rim of the parapet is: 'Their names shall remain and forever their glory shall not be blotted out'.
