Geocache Description:


1914 ~ 2014  100 years since the start of The Great War.  The Haggi are taking you on a tour of war memorials

This memorial is, interestingly in my opinion, dedicated to the the fallen of the World's War 1914 - 1918 and the Great War 1939 - 1945  Is in the form of a classical female allegorical figure of victory, holding a wreath representing peace. This figure rests on a turned circular pillar. Constructed from black granite by Gibbs Bros, Ashgrove Road, Aberdeen. Unveiled in July 1923 by Colonel John H. Wood.

Roadside parking while you need to gather some information from the memorial to get the final co ~ords which are N57* AB.CDE  W002*FG.HIJ

Saying the roadside is the front and the gated side is the rear of this circular memorial ~ The inscription on the front, how many letters in the first word of the third line = K - 3 = J

What is the last number on the front under all the writing ? = D

Moving round to the right, "Soldiers", How many Royal Air Force men are there ? = E

How many Captains are there ? = L - 1 = C

How many Merchant Navy men are there ? - 3 = I

On the inscription at the rear by the gate side,How many words on the first line ? = F

How many words on the second line ? = A

D - 2 = G

Moving round again to the "sailors" , How many Engineers are commerated for WWII = B

How many Admirals ? = H

 

The final co ~ords are a short drive away where there is good parking, the cache is by a telegraph post under a stone
