The German War Memorial in ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Chapel
Issue number
(2022): 17
Members of ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ will have seen and been struck by one of the smaller, but most arresting, fixtures in the chapel: the memorial to three German undergraduates who died in the First World War. Beyond the usual power of any war memorial, especially one so simply and beautifully designed, this tablet is especially evocative in its willingness to commemorate men on the opposite side of such an acrimonious pan-European conflict.
