The London Cenotaph The Glasgow Cenotaph
The London Whitehall Cenotaph, designed 1919, does not have a cross on it because of the diversity of religion and non-religion among the fallen of World War 1 (Sikhs, Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, Jews etc as well as Christians).
The Glasgow Cenotaph constructed in 1927 does have a cross on it and press accounts of the time suggest no controversy over this.
