About the memorial: On National Trust Property: In 1923 the Fell and Rock Climbing Club of the English Lake District presented the National Trust with 480ha of fells and mountain peaks above 1,500ft in two groups north and south of Styhead Pass, as a war memorial to those of its members who had lost their lives. The gift included the summits of Great Gable, Green Gable, Kirk Fell, Base Brown, Brandreth, Lingmell, Great End, Allen Crags, Glaramara and Seathwaite Fell. The club’s fallen included Siegfried Herford, a leading light of British mountaineering, who was killed in the trenches of Flanders aged 24.
