Geocache Description:

A drive by series of caches set at war memorials to commemorate 100 years since the beginning of the Great War.( please bring a pen)


This series has been placed around the local area at the war memorials used to remember those who died serving their country during world war 1 and world war 2. Although this series is designed as drive by’s it would be fitting to take a minute and pay respects to those who died in these conflicts. 

This memorial has two entries. This is a Celtic cross on a small plinth and base block on the shore of Cove Village opposite the Cove Burgh Hall. The memorial faces the Hall away from the Clyde. The main face contains the dedication inscription on the lower shaft and the names of fallen from WW1 on the base block in two columns. The front face of the cross is heavily carved with ornate circular celtic designs and is heavily bossed. The rear face of the cross is also carved but less heavily. The names of the fallen from WW2 are on the rear block. The memorial is on a grassed and slabbed area with a low metal railing around it. The cross is 2 ½ to 3m tall overall.
