War Memorial ~ Alfreton, Derbyshire

To the

Glory of God

and in Memory of

the Men of

Alfeton

who gave their lives

in the Great War

1914 ~ 1918

I thought that the depiction of a little girl standing with the Soldier was particularly poignant. 

The child may be a representation of the Innocent and the Future generations that these men fought and laid down their lives for and on a more personal level, for the Fathers, Uncles, Brothers and Sons who would never return to their families.
