About the memorial: Tall Celtic cross on a tapering plinth, at the north end of the sea front, next to the Bowling Green. By 2007 there was quite a problem with oxidation (?) on the lead lettering (probably from the sea air), but in 2013 new granite names panels were provided in place of the former panels. Douglas Ronald Maurice Hannay is also commemorated on the Carlisle Grammar School Memorials.
