For Eric Kennington’s 1936-39 effigy of T. E. Lawrence at St Martin’s, Wareham, in Dorset, Lawrence (of Arabia) is depicted in his Arab clothing, “alluding to his distinguished war service in the desert. This is the last great military effigy,” says Roger Bowdler in his paperback War Memorials, in the Britain’s Heritage series (Amberley Books, £8.99 (£8.20); 978-1-4456-9101-5). It describes the history and wide range of war memorials, with many colour photos, from before 1700 to the present day
