Geocache Description:

War Memorial cache #87 We will remember them ~ South Hylton.


This memorial is made of grey granite and is of a monument style, it's quite unusual as it's got a square shaped top. The memorial was unveiled 16 August 1924 and hard to imagine the setting like it was in this photo compared to how it is now

This is a multi-cache and can be found a short walk away at N 54 54.ABC W 001 27.DEF by working out the coordinates from the clues below.

A = Number of words in the phrase on the bottom of the memorial
B = Number of heroes on the left side of the memorial
C = Number of letters in the surname of the hero listed lowest on the memorial
D = Number of heroes listed from World War II divided by 8
E = Number of heroes whose surname begins with B on the front of the memorial divided by two
F = From the front of the memorial : Number of heroes with surname beginning with H minus the number of heroes with the surname beginning with M

Checksum for numbers is 16 - note online sites may give you the wrong answers!
