. 1914-1919 Great War Memorial and cross, Lacock Abbey, Lacock, Wiltshire, England, SN15. Photographed at Lacock, Chippenham, England, UK, SN15 2LG. The photograph was taken on 07 August 2013. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with Lacock Abbey, Lacock, Lacock Village, Memorial, 1914-1919 Great War Memorial, 1919 Great War, cross, remembrance, Lacock Memorial and For God and the Right, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The photograph has direct relevance to remembrance, commemoration, war memorials, civic ceremony and the public spaces used to remember military service and loss. It can support editorial features about Remembrance Sunday, Armistice commemorations, poppies, cenotaphs, wreath laying, local military history, veterans and civic participation. Inscriptions, floral tributes, flags, stonework, surrounding streets and temporary commemorative displays can provide important documentary detail for historical and news use. A dated image of a memorial is especially valuable because ceremonies, wreaths, signage and the surrounding public realm change from year to year. Search themes include remembrance, cenotaphs, war memorials, poppies, veterans, civic ceremony, military history, Armistice and public commemoration. Temporary wreaths, poppies and ceremonial displays can make one year's view materially different from another, increasing the archive value of the photograph. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. This particular view is catalogued under Alamy image reference DCYKKE, distinguishing it from other photographs of the same or related subject.
