It will be seen from the talk page on the site that connects with the photograph that the correct title (according to the minutes of what at the time was the historic Hartlepool Borough Council) of this 1920s tablet is in fact 'War Memorial Tablet', and it is directly connected with two other memorials under the collective title of 'Hartlepool War Memorial', one with the date 1914 and the other with the dates 1914-1919. An attempt to redirect to the slightly more correct title within geograph.org itself unfortunately was something that I could not manage to do. The site in question is geograph.org.uk, [1].

Well, I now wish to add and repeat, more than a year later, that the essence is indeed history, and this remarkable memorial tablet is indeed correctly entitled "War Memorial Tablet". The actual significance of all this has always been, for myself at least, extremely complicated and relating (as I believe can in point of fact be demonstrated) to the history of the British Empire more or less as from the creation of the United Kingdom many hundreds of years ago. It is complicated, I repeat, and therefore not many are going to have time for this matter perhaps, but for anyone who wishes to spend at least a couple of minutes on this subject they will certainly find the underlying issue demonstrated quite confincingly and in a remarkable fashion in part at least in memorials of the 1920s in the UK and including in particular Edinburgh, vide the Spirit of 1914 Talk article under the title "The character of the "spirit of 1914" in Europe in general" this being an article which is recent and happens to be also by myself.
In conclusion, I suggest that all of this should if possible (and not just of course by myself, since that would not be possible anyway) be sorted out, and (again if possible) prior to early in the shortly from the present date (2012) forthcoming year 2014, this year containing the centenary dates of both the commencement of the First World War in August and the East Coast Raid (here in this article apparently supposed to be in question but only alas in part and questionably) late in December.
What is history? In this case, whatever it is, it is European, not simply British, but here it is specifically British, ladies and gentlemen, in what I believe must be held to be a most signficant fashion (but again also at European level and signficant in that respect).
