One of three castings of angels for the National War Memorial casket, by Robert Lorimer
About 100,000 Scots people died in the Great War of 1914-1918. Such loss of life meant that virtually every family was touched. Even before the Armistice, discussions were underway to find a fitting and appropriate monument to commemorate the dead.
