This fine memorial was designed by Lutyens and Gill in about 1920 and features a central Tuscan column. It also has a thought-provoking inscription: 'We died in a strange land, facing the dark cloud of war, and this stone is raised to us in the home of our delight.' See Image] for a closer look at the figure on the column.
