Railway War Memorials. By Keith Scholey. Most commemorate the dead of WW1 with most giving the further casualties from WW2. Some were designed by Edwin Lutyens, notably those at Derby and York. The memorials at Euston and Waterloo are especially noteworthy for their architectural scale, whilst that at Liverpool Street was the site for the assassination of Sir Henry Wilson outside his home immediately following the unveiling of the Memorial. A further plaque commemorates this outrage. illus.: War Memorial outside Euston Station; Memorial at Horwich Works; Metropolitan War Memorial at Baker Street; War Memorial at York; War Memorial outside Waterloo as part of the Victory Arch; War Memorial details in the United Kingdom;
