It was a 4am alarm call for the drive to West Kirby with friends so that we could make the walk at Low tide to the islands of Little Eye, Little Hilbre & Hilbre Island. In total, we walked eight miles to bag 5 trigs in the West Kirby area. This was the third with the pillar being sited very close to the monument. Having visited the islands we made our way to Grange Hill, a pretty woodland high point that overlooked the estuary and islands. The monument stands proudly and is a fitting tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Went the wrong way up (behind the allotments)! Take the path opposite the sea scouts instead!

Bagged at the same time as the pillar. This is the Hoylake and West Kirby War Memorial, built in 1922 by sculptor Charles Sargeant Jagger, who also designed the Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner in London

The Hoylake and West Kirby War Memorial is a 14.5-metre-high, granite four-sided obelisk which stands on Grange Hill, West Kirby, Merseyside. It was designed by British sculptor Charles Sargeant Jagger (1885-1934), who also designed the Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner in London. It commemorates the men and women of West Kirby and Hoylake who gave their lives in World Wars I and II. On two sides of the obelisk stand bronze figures symbolising war and peace. On the west face is a figure of a robed woman holding a baby, a wreath of poppies and broken manacles. On the east face stands a British infantry soldier dressed for winter and standing guard with standard issue .303 rifle, bayonet fixed, a gas mask, water bottle, putties and his helmet pushed off the back of his head, and a German helmet at his feet . Inscriptions around the base read: AT THE CALL OF KING AND COUNTRY THEY LEFT ALL THAT WAS DEAR TO THEM, ENDURED HARDNESS, FACED DANGER AND FINALLY PASSED OUT OF THE SIGHT OF MEN BY THE PATH OF DUTY AND SELF SACRIFICE, GIVING UP THEIR OWN LIVES THAT OTHERS MIGHT LIVE IN FREEDOM. LET THOSE WHO COME AFTER SEE TO IT/THAT THEIR NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN. ” — West face “ IN GRATITUDE TO GOD AND TO THE MEN AND WOMEN FROM THESE PARTS WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919 - 1939-1945. THEY WERE A WALL UNTO US BOTH BY NIGHT AND DAY. ” — East face The memorial was unveiled on 16 December 1922 by the Earl of Birkenhead with 5,000 people in attendance.[2] The Memorial is in the care of Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. A recasting of the soldier figure now forms part of the "Drivers and Wipers" Memorial at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne, Australia.
