Hoylake and West Kirby War Memorial, War memorial in Grange Hill, West Kirby, England
The memorial features a 14.5-meter granite obelisk with two bronze figures representing a British infantry soldier and a robed woman holding a baby.
The memorial was unveiled in December 1922 with 5,000 people attending the ceremony led by the Earl of Birkenhead to honor World War casualties.
Bronze sculptures on both sides of the obelisk represent contrasting aspects through a military figure with combat equipment and a woman holding peace symbols.
The bayonet from the soldier figure undergoes regular removal for protection and receives reinstallation specifically during annual memorial ceremonies.
A reproduction of the soldier figure appears at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne, Australia as part of the Drivers and Wipers Memorial.
