EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the Hertford War Memorial, standing proudly in Parliament Square, Hertford. Designed by renowned architect Sir Aston Webb, RA, this magnificent memorial pays tribute to the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War I. The focal point of this striking sculpture is a majestic bronze stag gracefully perched on a sturdy plinth crafted from Portland stone. Its regal presence symbolizes strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The intricate details of both the stag and plinth are expertly captured in this photograph taken by Bedford Lemere and Company in July 1923. As time passed and wounds from another devastating conflict began to heal, additional names were inscribed on this poignant memorial to honor those who lost their lives during World War II as well. This act serves as a powerful reminder that freedom often comes at great cost. Preserved within Historic England Archive's vast collection, this print immortalizes not only an architectural masterpiece but also commemorates the sacrifices made by countless individuals for generations to come. It stands as a testament to our collective duty never to forget those who fought valiantly for our freedom and peace.
