This Is My Glasgow on Nostr: I was struck by this World War I memorial to the people from the Pollok House Estate ...
I was struck by this World War I memorial to the people from the Pollok House Estate in Glasgow. Unusually, it doesn't just list the dead, but everyone who served. This means you can calculate the proportion of all who went who died, and it's 20%, which emphasises the massive loss of life in that war.
