Dunscar War Memorial [Map]. War Memorial. Unveiled May 1921, by Gaffin and Co. Copper sculpture set on a tapered stone pedestal, with a plinth and 3-stepped base. The sculpture depicts a soldier bearing his pack, standing with bowed head, and resting upon his upturned rifle. The wedge-shaped plot of land enclosed by the roadways was known locally as 'Finger Post', and it was here that short services were held each Sunday evening during the First World War, after which the names of the most recent casualties amongst the local community were read out. The choice of this site for the memorial thus has intense poignancy.
