The Response (War Memorial)

  • Description

    Memorial to the British Expeditionary Force, 1914. St Thomas's Church, Newcastle upon Tyne. The Latin text reads 'Non sibi sed patriae', which I think means something like 'Not for themselves, but for their country'. The English text below is 'The Response 1914'. Led by the little drummer boy, I suspect they had no notion of the Hell on Earth that they were about to enter.
