ABERYSTWYTH WAR MEMORIAL, ABERYSTWYTH, WALES, UNITED KINGDOM.

            THE ABERYSTWYTH WAR MEMORIAL WAS BUILT BETWEEN 1921 AND 1923 AND LOCATED IN THE CASTLE GROUNDS TOWERING OVER ABERYSTWYTH’S SOUTHERN PROMENADE. THE TOWN’S WAR MEMORIAL IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE FINEST IN BRITAIN. IT RECORDS THE NAMES OF 111 ABERYSTWYTH MEN WHO DIED AS A RESULT OF ACTION DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR, AND 78 MEN AND WOMEN WHO DIED DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR. 
THE MEMORIAL ITSELF WAS DESIGNED BY ITALIAN MARIO RUTELLI, WHO WAS BASED IN PALERMO, AND IS INSCRIBED IN WELSH WITH “DROS RYDDID”, TRANSLATING AS “FOR FREEDOM”.
THE WINGED FIGURE AT THE TOP THE COLUMN REPRESENTS VICTORY, ALIGHTING ON THE EARTH WITH NEWS OF VICTORY AND PEACE. THE GLOBE WHICH VICTORY STANDS ON BEARS THE NAMES OF SOME OF THE LOCAL MEN KILLED IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR.
AT THE FOOT OF THE COLUMN, A NAKED WOMAN EMERGING FROM TANGLED FOLIAGE IS DEPICTED, REPRESENTING HUMANITY RISING FROM THE CHAOS OF WAR.
ADORNED WITH POPPIES AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR, IT IS A PERFECT PLACE TO SIT AND REFLECT, AND WATCH THE SUN GO DOWN.
