EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the solemn and reverent atmosphere of the Students' Memorial at the University College, Bangor, Wales, circa 1924. Completed in 1923, the memorial was erected to honor the memory of over 1,100 students and staff from North Wales who lost their lives during the First World War. The war, also known as the Great War or WWI, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and had a profound impact on the world, including the United Kingdom and Wales. The memorial, designed by the renowned architect Clough Williams-Ellis, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifice made by the young men and women of North Wales during the conflict. The memorial's central feature is a bronze figure of a soldier, standing tall and proud, symbolizing the bravery and resilience of those who served. The memorial also includes a roll of honor, inscribed with the names of those who gave their lives for their country. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, shows the memorial bathed in soft, diffused light, casting long shadows on the ground. The trees surrounding the memorial are in full bloom, adding a sense of beauty and tranquility to the scene. The memorial stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of those who served, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during a time of great upheaval and change. The Students' Memorial at the University College, Bangor, Wales, remains an important landmark in the history of the town and the region, and continues to be a place of reflection and remembrance for generations to come.
