| Co-ordinator's Comments: |
An unusual feature of the memorial is the attitude of the swords which are shown with point uppermost rather than the more common 'reversed arms' position (with the hilt as a representation of the Cross.) This may have been influenced by the design of the pillar which tapers inwards. |
