Bootle War Memorial
The Bootle War Memorial is in Stanley Park, Bootle, Sefton, Merseyside, England. It was paid for partly by a grant from the local council, and partly by public subscription. The sculptor was Herman Cawthra, with assistance in the design from Hubert Ernest Bulmer, the borough's art director. The monument consists of a mother and child on top of an obelisk, which is surrounded by the figures of three servicemen. It was unveiled in 1922, and the names of those killed in the Second World War were added in 1948. The memorial is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
==History==
A War Memorial Sub-Committee was established in 1920 to arrange for the design and erection of a memorial for the town. The borough council agreed to make a grant of £2,000 towards the cost, the difference to be made up by public subscriptions. A grant was unusual because at the time the whole cost of war memorials was usually met by public subscription. Herman Cawthra was selected as sculptor. He worked on the design of the memorial with Hubert Ernest Bulmer, a member of the committee and art director for the borough. Some of Cawthra's models were exhibited at the Royal Academy before they were placed on the memorial. The figures were made in the foundry of M. Manenti, and the stonework was built by Henry A. Clegg and Sons of Chester. The memorial was unveiled on 15 October 1922 by Major James Burnie in the presence of a large crowd. In 1948 the names of those killed in the Second World War were added to the memorial.
