As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people commemorated here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term "dead soldiers' memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously most common "war memorial".

However, such a war memorial, which one encounters so often on the road, regardless of nationality, language and name, is always a testimony - still significant and current today - to the horror of war and tyranny. They all have two essential functions, and this for each generation anew:
-1- Commemorate and remember the victims
-2- Remind people to keep the peace

This memorial commemorates 22 people who fell in the First World War. It is located right next to the East Entrance of Lulworth Park.

Located opposite the exit road from Lulworth Castle Park, it honors 22 men who died in or shortly after World War I.
For such a small village, they had a lot of losses, and so many with same surname. Sad
