Bearsden War Memorial

Two 9ft figures stand on a 15ft pedestal of Portland stone; the group represents 'The Triumph Of Sacrifice'.
Sculptor Alexander Proudfoot: "The Bronze group shows a winged angelic figure supporting the figure of a stricken youth.
The figure of the Youth represents the sacrifice of the nation's youth and the winged figure symbolises the National Consciousness of the sacrifice and also the Victory.
The head of the winged figure turns towards the Youth expressing by the action the divine regard and preciousness of the sacrifice."

Unveiled 14th May 1924.
With poppies currently for sale everywhere, I thought this was quite timely to post, albeit a little early for Remembrance Day.
