The Cave-Penney Cross - Corndon Down, Dartmoor - NK2_8100

            I've posted shots of this memorial before, but this is a very recent one. I am always drawn to it when I'm doing a walk in that area. The chosen viewpoint, the season of the year, and weather conditions make each shot different. In this shot, you can see Yar Tor, partly in shadow, in the background (left of the picture).

The Cave-Penney Cross is situated on Corndon Down near Yar Tor,  high up above Dartmeet on Dartmoor.
It was erected in the memory of a young soldier who was killed in the second world war. His family came from Rogues Roost in Sherwell (aka Sherill) nearby.

The inscription below the cross reads:
"To the glory of God And to the dear memory of Evelyn Anthony Cave-Penney Lieut. Q.V.O. Corps of Guides Fell in Palestine whilst Gallantly commanding his men June 8th 1918, aged 19
Look up and lift up your heads."
