- The memorial at Stornoway was erected in the aftermath of the First World War, which had a huge impact on the Isle of Lewis. 1,300 people were killed in the Great War, out of a population of 30,000.
Apart from this memorial, there are about 20 other war memorials scattered all over Lewis and Harris. - By: Guido Blokland
