Todmorden War Memorial, War memorial in Centre Vale Park, Todmorden, England
The memorial features a central statue of St George standing on a globe, supported by maidens in Greek clothing and surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped basin.
Created by Gilbert Bayes in 1921, the monument honors 659 local soldiers who died in World War I, 150 in World War II, and two in the Korean War.
The memorial includes two sculptures, The Lamp of Memory and The Shield of Honor, which were replaced with replicas in 2014 after the originals disappeared in 1996.
The Grade II listed structure contains engraved tablets listing fallen soldiers alphabetically by regiment, making it simple for visitors to locate specific names.
Four dragon head water spouts emerge from the orb beneath St George, creating a fountain effect that integrates with the memorial's architectural design.
