EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the unveiling of the Kenwyn War Memorial on June 27th, 1920. Located at the junction of Kenwyn Hill and Knights Hill in Kenwyn, Cornwall, this memorial stands as a solemn tribute to the brave souls from the parish who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War I. The ceremony was graced by royalty, with none other than the Duke of Cornwall himself, later known as Edward VIII or Prince of Wales, officiating the unveiling. A crowd of approximately 2000 people gathered to witness this poignant event that forever etched their memories. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captured this historic occasion for posterity. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to feel a sense of reverence and gratitude towards those who gave their lives for our freedom. As years passed and another devastating conflict unfolded, additional names were added to this hallowed monument following World War II.

This remarkable photograph is part of Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, preserving invaluable glimpses into our shared heritage.
